The Breakaway Cook: Recipes That Break Away from the Ordinary

Earlier this week, I wrote about The Breakaway Cook

As I've mentioned before, I don't really read cookbooks for the recipes. Instead, I read them for the tips, techniques, and thought processes that they contain. By this standard Eric Gower's The Breakaway Cook is a great cookbook. This isn't to say that the recipes in it aren't worthwhile, but the real gems here are in the first fifty or so pages of information on ingredients and techniques.
