We can't stress the importance of a good
and diverse collections of cookbooks in a creative kitchen. We've listed a
few of the books that have inspired us to create. These are the books you'll find in our
kitchen and we think they'd be indispensable in yours!
Sauces : Classical and Contemporary Sauce Making
Back in 1991, when the
first edition of Sauces was published, it's as though James
Peterson said, "Okay, this is what we know so far. Where do you want
to go from here?" The "what we know so far" part started with the
Greeks and Romans, moved through the Middle Ages, into the
Renaissance, through the 17th and 18th centuries, and right on into
time as we know it, time that can be tasted in the sauce.

I'm Just Here for the Food Alton Brown, host of Food Network's Good Eats,
is not your typical TV cook. Equal parts Jacques Pépin and Mr. Science,
with a dash of MacGyver, Brown goes to great lengths to get the most out
of his ingredients and tools to discover the right cooking method for the
dish at hand. With his debut cookbook, I'm Just Here for the Food,
Brown explores the foundation of cooking: heat. From searing and roasting
to braising, frying, and boiling, he covers the spectrum of cooking
techniques, stopping along the way to explain the science behind it all,
often adding a pun and recipe or two (usually combined, as with Miller
Thyme Trout).
