The Cook's Bible: The Best of American Home Cooking
Christopher Kimball Manufacturer: Little, Brown and Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0316493716 |
Book Description
Whether you're a kitchen novice or a veteran home chef, Christopher Kimball has written the one cookbook you absolutely must own - an indispensable guide to the best in American home cooking.As the founder, publisher, and editor of Cook's Illustrated magazine, Kimball has perfected a new way of writing about food: take a classic dish, meticulously test all possible variations, and then present the recipes proven best. Now, with THE COOK'S BIBLE, Kimball at last gives you a cookbook based on the same rigorous methods. From the ideal way to cook a turkey to perfect chocolate cake, you get foolproof master recipes for hundreds of favorite dishes - and one of the best basic cookbooks every published.
THE COOK'S BIBLE takes the mystery out of preparing a great meal. What's the ideal ratio of oil to vinegar in a vinaigrette? Kimball gives you the answer: 4 1/2 to 1. What's the secret to perfect roast chicken? A 375 oven and a 170 internal temperature for the thigh. How about the toughest kitchen challenge of all, piecrust? Kimball makes it easy with the right ingredients (including Crisco and butter) and illustrated step-by-step instructions. For these and the rest of America's best-loved dishes - vegetable soup, poached salmon, roast beef, grilled ribs, homemade pizza, waffles, chocolate chip cookies, and many others - Kimball has tested and retested to deliver the definitive recipes.
In addition to these master recipes, Kimball also serves up a generous helping of appealing variations - nearly 450 recipes in all. You can start off with his Cream of Roasted Tomato Soup or Winter Red Cabbage Salad with Bacon and then follow with a main course of Beef Tenderloin with Marsala and Balsamic Vinegar or Braised Tuna with Ginger and Soy. Pastas, beans, and grains dishes - Squash and Sage Ravioli; Barley with Spinach, Parsley, and Chives; and Marinated White Beans - provide intriguing accents. And Sauted Green Beans with Lemon and Walnuts, Baked Carrots with Maple Syrup and Nutmeg, and Rustic Country Bread make perfect accompaniments. For deserts, you can indulge yourself with The Best Angel Food Cake, Buttermilk Fruit Cobbler, or a simple dish of poached Peaches with Ginger.
Throughout, Kimball elucidates kitchen procedures - butterflying a chicken, for instance, or dicing an onion - with more than 200 beautifully rendered step-by-step illustrations. And he also provides lucid guidance on what kitchen equipment you need and what you can live without - a microwave oven is optional, but good knives are essential - including brand names, model numbers, and prices.
From recipes to techniques to equipment, here is a one-volume master class in American home cookery, a cooking school in print for beginners and experienced cooks alike.

Rare culinary wisdom and great fun to read. Not gospel thought.......2005-10-11
Pretty good..........2003-01-06
It's a great kitchen resource, but be warned -- if you own this, there's no need for you to buy "The Best Recipe," "The America's Test Kitchen Cookbook," or basically anything else Cook's Illustrated puts out, because the recipes are the same. This book is basically an expanded version of the non-dessert recipes in "The Best Recipe," which I also own. Cook's Illustrated is famous for recycling their recipes over and over and just putting new titles and covers on the cookbooks. If you buy this, don't buy another CI book until you're absolutely positive (through side-by-side comparison) that you need both.
The only other criticism I have of this book -- and all the Cook's Illustrated books, really -- is there's not a lot of diversity of cuisines involved. The magazine and cookbooks stick to tried-and-true staples of American (actually Northeastern American) food, and occasionally step a just a little over into ethnic cuisine. But if you're looking for explosive new tastes, interesting fusions of different cuisines, daring flavor combinations, new twists on old standards etc., these are not the cookbooks you're looking for. This would be a great gift for nervous new cook who's interested in learning the fundamentals and needs the reassurance of extensively tested recipes, but there's not a lot of excitement or intrigue here for a cook who's more or less mastered the basics of American cuisine and is now branching out into cooking the food of other parts of the world. A very nice basic "resource" cookbook to have, but definitely not the be-all end-all "bible" of cooking Kimball purports it to be.
If You Suscribe to Cooks's, You May Want to Reconsider.......2002-12-10
one of the best cookbook/food books I've ever owned.......2002-09-06
I own about 60 food and cookbooks. Many are useful for a few recipes and a few are regularly useful, but I would rank The Cook's Bible as one of the top three I own. Recipes are consistently, and authoritatively, first rate -- and delicious.
Subjects include equipment for the kitchen, using a microwave oven, how to use knives, potatoes, steaming vegetables, roasting vegetables, how to build a salad, dried beans, shellfish, pasta, fish and shellfish, frying or roasting a chicken, turkey, stews, stocks and sauces, barbecue, pizza, stir-fry, yeast breads, eggs, cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, souffle, and baked and poached fruits.
Line illustrations and charts augment the text, and there is a comprehensive index.
Highest recommendation for curious cooks.
Good source of information.......2002-03-13

Growing Rich with Growth Stocks: Wall Street's Top Money Managers Reveal the 12 Rules for Investment Success
Kirk Kazanjian Manufacturer: Prentice Hall Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0735201536 |
Amazon.com
Chill winds frequently blow through the financial press. If it's not the Y2K thing, it's the simple fact that stocks have been growing so fast for so long that there just has to be a disaster on the horizon. But you'll find no gloom and doom in Getting Rich with Growth Stocks. Kirk Kazanjian retained five top investors to share their secrets and their outlook on the future, and the result is a book that's refreshing to read and easy to absorb. It doesn't mean that there isn't a hurricane brewing somewhere offshore; it just means that after the hurricane has passed through, the warm breezes will return.The five investors--Donald Yacktman, Robert Stovall, Shelby Davis, Roy Papp, and Elizabeth Bramwell--share a remarkably consistent view of the future: If an investor consistently picks stocks that meet certain criteria (global sales, a high probability of continued growth, low price/earnings ratio relative to the rest of the market), he or she will get very rich.
Likewise, they share a disdain for international stocks (it's cheaper to buy American stocks that do business overseas), trend-of-the-moment plays (what goes up like a skyrocket can and usually does fall like a rock), and market timing (be in the market all the time, they counsel).
Kazanjian organizes their investment advice into a dozen principles, and intersperses profiles of each investor with their respective picks for the "10 growth stocks for the 21st century." Those generally include the usual suspects--Microsoft, GE, Intel, Merck--and are hardly the point of the book. By the time you're done reading this, you should be ready to pick your own high-ceiling stocks, sit back, and imagine those ocean breezes. --Lou Schuler

The book is well worth its price, however, for the top ten growth stock picks by each of the five featured investors. That's really the only information of value in the book, but they probably couldn't sell very many copies of a 5-page book, so you're stuck with the filler.

For Positivist Organization Theory
Lex Donaldson Manufacturer: Sage Publications Ltd ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0761952276 |
Book Description
Organization theory is presently dominated by theories of strategic choice and politics. Managers are seen as exercising a wide range of choices while maximizing their personal self-interest through complex power struggles. For Positivist Organization Theory challenges these views, arguing instead that managerial decisions are determined by the situation and serve the interests of the whole organization. Showing that all organizations follow the same universal laws across technologies and a variety of cultures, this intriguing volume rejects the model of organizational configurations and types. Author Lex Donaldson backs up his theory, offering a critical assessment of leading organization theorists such as Henry Mintzberg, John Child, Michael Hannan, and Danny Miller--along with the satirist Northcote Parkinson. This important book will provide stimulating reading for academics and graduate students in organization, management, and administrative studies.

Vapid and poor production qualities.......2003-05-08
The book itself gives a brief overview of McKinley's life and career. It was written shortly after he was assassinated, though, and reads like a long eulogy. As a matter of fact, page after page is filled with directly quoted excerpts of actual eulogies given at the time of his death.
Interesting historical artifact. Not serious history.

Customer Reviews:
In the heat of the moment.......2002-09-17
Much of the book focuses on McKinley's assassination, making this sort of a prototype of William Manchester's "Death of a President," about the Kennedy murder. But there is also a decent biography of the man, the text of several of his speeches, and a number of well-executed illustrations and portraits. I was surprised by the in-depth analysis of the anarchist movement (including an entire chapter on Emma Goldman), and there are also sections on "our two other martyr-presidents," Lincoln and Garfield.
You won't find any bad things about McKinley here ("No figure of modern American history appeals so strongly to the patriotism and love of the American people as William McKinley," p. 3). But taken itself as a memorial of the man's time, this title does help add to our understanding of this president who, more than almost any other, helped push America down the road to Empire. And that makes it a useful resource.
