Comments on: New and noteworthy cookbooks http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/05/31/new-and-noteworthy-cookbooks/ Recipes from scratch and a lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:15:43 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/05/31/new-and-noteworthy-cookbooks/#comment-3091 ellaella Sun, 01 Jun 2008 12:20:56 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/05/31/new-and-noteworthy-cookbooks/#comment-3091 Good morning, Muse! Ruhlman <em>is</em> a wonderful writer. And you're right about precision with baking. It's often said cooking is an art, baking is a science. That's so true. Baking is chemistry and technique, for the most part. Good thing about cookbooks is I can read and enjoy them without ever making anything! Ruhlman's is on my list, as is Arthur Schwartz's new one, which I neglected to mention in the piece. And your latest blog post title has gotten my attention, so I'm going to click right over and read it! Good morning, Muse! Ruhlman is a wonderful writer. And you’re right about precision with baking.

When I cook at all, I don't like to follow recipes exactly, as I quickly lose interest. I guess one has to know when things must be measured precisely, like baking powder? So, sometimes my things turn into what they're not meant to be. Great collection of books. I may actually go so far as borrowing one or two from the library. :D <em>MusEditions's last blog post..<a href='http://museditions.wordpress.com/2008/06/01/when-life-intrudes-upon-blogging/' rel="nofollow">When life intrudes upon Blogging</a></em> Well, “recipes are sheet music” got my attention.
