Instructive & Incredible Recipes

I rarely write reviews, but the recipes that come out of this book are so extraordinary, I felt like I had to say something! This is a great book for any home cook interested in bringing their recipes to the next level. The four categories really put flavors in perspective for me; the techniques Samin writes about are so simple, and yet they really elevate even standby recipes from good, to great. Plus, I've tried about 5 recipes from this book so far, and every single one has been AMAZING. I tell everyone about this book and go back to it again and again for both education, and fail-safe recipes I know will "wow" everyone. I'd recommend the Five-Spice Chicken and Lori's Midnight Oil Chocolate Cake :)
