There are a bazillion cookbooks out there.  If I had to choose just ONE, this is it.I owned a restaurant for 15 years, and Cooks is the one source of consistent inspiration that I have found.What separates Cooks from all the rest is their discussion of what does NOT work in the recipe.  Things they tried and why they were not happy with the results.After a while you feel like you are a part of their test kitchen team and you know what to suggest and why.  Instead of "cook booking" your way through your kitchen life, you actually begin to internalize kitchen strategies.This book will not only help you with some fun recipes, it will make you a better cook.  Now THAT's icing on the cake!
