Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Cook's Secret Weapon!
This book is an absolute gem! I have learned so much from "Cookwise" and am constantly referring to it for information (and inspiration). Ms. Corriher excels in explaining the science of cooking in an easy-to-understand format that does not patronize. She is knowledgeable and passionate about her subject and seems to have a sincere interest in helping her readers become better cooks. From learning the differences between flours and in which instances to use them for successful results to making a lemon meringue pie with meringue that doesn't weep, it's all in here.

I've read this book from cover to cover and seven chapters discuss bread and breadmaking techniques; how to bake successful pie crusts, cookies and cakes; the role of eggs in cooking and baking; sauces; cooking methods for fruits and vegetables; meat and seafood cookery; and last but by no means least, desserts.

If you love cooking and indeed want to become wiser, get this book! You'll be very pleased you did.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a classic filled with information
This book is often rated tops in terms of well presented, thorough information on the basics of how cooking and baking work.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book!
I enjoy reading this book bits at a time. Usually, I have to re-read the same section just to make sure I've understood the science Shirley is laying out.

I haven't tried any of the recipes. I bought it because I always like how Shirley explains things to us when she pops in on Alton Brown's show, Good Eats.

It's a very enjoyable and interesting book. If you like learning the science behind cooking, but you're not a scientist. This book may be for you.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Duh! CookWiser
Little I didn't know.
Lots of info on subjects I'm not interested in.
