Recipes: What You've Been Missing

Have you ever followed the recipe directions exactly and the recipe does not come out as expected? If you have, then this book is for you because...it’s a book about recipes, not a book of recipes. Without the ability to ask the creator of the recipe your questions and special tips, you are often without all the information you need for a successful result. Recipes: What You’ve Been Missing helps you understand the interactions between recipe ingredients, methods and techniques to uncover potential problems before you begin cooking. Gain insights for more consistent success including - • Interpreting consumer and professional recipes • Identifying recipe methods and techniques • Ingredient ratios and yields • Adjusting flavor outcomes • Flavor relationships • Recipe design and development • Recipe evaluation Alternative versions of the same recipe are developed to identify potential problems and propose potential solutions. A wealth of color photographs are included to demonstrate stages of recipe development. A step-by-step approach is presented to explore and identify recipe problems before the recipe is cooked to achieve more consistent and better results. Recipes: What You’ve Been Missing also features tables that summarize desirable flavor pairings and ways to correct common recipe errors.
