This new edition has been reorganized and includes 500 new recipes and many more step-by-step illustrations. Each chapter now opens with "essential recipes" that should be in every cook's repertoire, and there are dozens of new charts and lists throughout. Vegetarian recipes are marked with a special icon, and quick recipes-Bittman also writes "The Minimalist" column for the New York Times -and those that can be made ahead are similarly denoted; prep times are also given for all recipes.

  • HUGE book

    I’m a cookbook addict, I love buying them, reading them, using them, sharing them...but this one is so large/huge it’s hard to keep with all my others. With that said it really is a great book footage novice to the advanced cook.

  • Look up the information you need.

    This cookbook is good even if you have been cooking for 50 years. If you have a question about what you are about to cook, this is the one to get. I love just sitting down and reading it.

  • Fills in the gaps and or provides ideas you may not have known about.

  • Not that user friendly

    I'm happy I didn't pay full price for it. Granted, it's comprehensive, but it reads like an auto manual.
