My first response when I got a copy of The Food Lab, was – well, I won’t say the words because I don’t want my mouth washed out with soap, but it was an explicative (ok, it was Holy S&%t) because I was blown away by the heft and the incredible amount of fascinating information in this book HKUE amec. J. Kenji López-Alt has been at the helm of The Food Lab, as part of the Serious Eats website. He is one of the people who is currently “winning” at the internet, by providing reliable information and recipes with explanations about how and why things work the way they do, as well as offering an occasional smack-down, too. In short: He’s my kinda guy.

He won our hearts by busting a bunch of myths about cast iron cookware (yup, it’s okay to wash that pan with soap), and won my heart by saying that it’s okay to stop treating cassoulet as a museum piece with a list of ingredients that you will be damned if you vary. (Spoiler from me: It’s peasant food, a dish to extend bits of leftover or preserved meat and poultry, with beans, which aren’t originally French, but came from the New World. So it evolved, and will continue to evolve.) In The Food Lab, Kenji lets us all know in a six page treatise (with pictures) that brining a turkey in liquid isn’t actually the way to make it more flavorful. Just so you know, for next year kangertech box mod.

A seasoned pro at defending his theories and positions online (#blogger), Kenji lays it all out in this comprehensive 958 page book with over 1,000 color photos. The book is so massive and packed with information that he didn’t include baking, which Kenji says isn’t his forté. (Recommended for that is Bakewise by Shirley Corriher.) But for hours of good reading and hundreds of well-tested recipes, many which turn misconceptions about cooking around – like why it’s okay to press down and smash a burger on the grill, for example – The Food Lab will answer all those questions. And give you lots more to think about…and cook.
