I LOVE this cookbook. I checked it out from the library and had to buy one.
As a vegetarian I have been searching for a book that was more than just a compilation of vegetarian recipes and less than a lecture on the advantages of vegetarianism. I wanted something that would explain the details and give me some technical info on the subject. This book satisfies in every way. For example consider the section on breads. Bittman gives you explanations on basic bread-making techniques, explains the differences between flours, leaveners, yeasts, kneading techniques, and so on. I found the tips on letting the oven preheat for at least an hour and planning your baking to make the best of your time to be examples of very practical ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is an excellent cookbook for a starting cook, and it is the first one I turn to when I have a pile of one type of vegetable. The recipes are very easy to follow, and it has clear and useful techniques.
That being said, quite a few recipes (especially baking) are very bland. Oatmeal cookies turn out with excellent color and texture, but almost no taste. I've had this experience multiple times for this cookbook, and neither my wife or I have any desire to bake from it again. >>More Details |

The book has lots of recipes -- and they look relatively easy for someone that already has cooking experience and the text is informative as well. That being said, I've had the book for a month and haven't used any of the recipes yet -- which doesn't bode well for it being admitted into the sanctum of my most frequently consulted and favorite cookbooks.
As a non-New Yorker, and one who reads the Times infrequently, I wasn't familiar with Bittman's column (but had heard good things about it) and didn't really know what to expect. Many of the recipes are a little more exotic than the food my family enjoys -- and while I wish their palates were a little wider -- wishing won't make leeks something I can serve that will be eaten by anybody ...

Mark Bittman is FANTASTIC. I can enthusiastically recommend any of his books, and this one is no exception. This book has more of a "world cuisine" focus than his others, and is a great resource for someone trying to venture out into new culinary territory.

As with How to Cook Everything, many of Bittman's recipes could not have been tested before publishing and seem as though they were concocted at his desk.

I bought the book because it received high rating in the review. When I received the book today, I expected to see nice pictures to show the changes of a simple recipe then being presented in spectacular way. I am not sure whether the writer refers spectacular to some exotic, expensive or unusual ingredients or some cooking techniques in French terms. The recipes are pretty much grouped into each main ingredient and that ingredient is cooked in 4 different ways.
I am not a chef nor pro cook, only an enthusiastic home cook. Those are pretty much what I do at home. I use the same main ingredients and cook them in different ways on different days such as stir frying, roasting, grilling, with different seasonings or different filling etc. If ...

A simple, straight-forward book that might be useful for the absolute beginner. But for those even slightly beyond grilled cheese or spaghetti, go for the original, full-length version instead.

This is one of my all time favorite cookbooks. Jean-Georges Vongerichten has an amazing palate. Some of his cooking techniques and flavor combinations may be somewhat unusual but they are spot on. I've had this book for a number of years and have made many of the recipes. They are delicious.

The cover was a little more worn then I would have liked, and not glossy like the library book I had (was hoping it would be glossy, but it could just be a different release), but overall good condition. I am glad to have this cookbook, it has lots of yummy recipes.
