[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]America's Test Kitchen does a good job of explaining their techniques. I have one of their books called "the science of good cooking", which breaks recipes up by technique (browning, braising, baking, etc). You can read the theory behind a particular technique, then try a few recipes that use it. Personally I find that more helpful than just following a recipe, I like knowing WHY it's important to do things a certain way, and what will happen if I don't.[/quote] Yes this. They explain WHY which is super helpful.[/quote] Another vote for America's Test Kitchen, both the magazine and their cookbook, The New Best Recipe. They also have an online cooking school program, www.onlinecookingschool.com, which I've never tried but have been intrigued by.[/quote]
