Good Book, MIsleading Title,
By
This review is from: Secrets from the Southern Living Test Kitchens (Hardcover)
This is a good, informative book, but the title is misleading. It is actually an encyclopedia of general cooking knowledge with a few tips thrown in.
It has 5000 short articles, in alphabetical order, primarily on cooking ingredients and dishes, but also cooking techniques, equipment and a few recipes. The articles are from 2 lines to 1 page with an average of 9 per page. It calls them `secrets', but descriptions of basil and banana pepper are not secrets or tips. However, it does have a few sidebars that qualify as secrets and tips. It spite of the misleading title, it is a good book and I recommend it. It has useful information for beginner to intermediate cooks. Because it is an encyclopedia, it is not a good choice for a book to just sit down and read or to learn cooking from. For that, try `Cooking' or `I'm Just Here for the Food'. It is most useful when you need to know something specific, such as how to knead bread, what is kosher salt or which knife to use.

Great recipes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets from the Southern Living Test Kitchens (Hardcover)
I've used several of the recipes in this book with my high school cooking classes. So far, they've all turned out to be really good. Besides recipes, the book also includes information about different foods, not all necessarily Southern although that is its focus. You do have to get used to the alphabetized format--but it also has an index in case you don't know where to go looking for a recipe.

Pleasant Surprise,

This review is from: Secrets from the Southern Living Test Kitchens (Hardcover)
What a pleasant surprise!!!!!! Southern Living always publishes great cookbooks, which is exactly what I expected here. But, this really isn't a cookbook. It's a great reference book. The lay out is like a food dictionary with an alphabetical listing of cooking terms and ingredients and along the way there are recipes that accompany the ingredient or term being referenced. You will pull this one from the shelf over and over again.
