Again, a book that is half reference and half recipes! Read this book and you won't have to use recipes any more. A handful of simple ratios reduce the complex mathematics behind cooking into an easy-to-remember set of numbers that will have you whipping up pie crust, fresh pasta, delicate custards, or perfect vinaigrette without ever having to crack a cookbook or reach for the internet.

I've been on a gluten-free diet for health reasons for over twenty years. I work with around ten kinds of flour on a regular basis, and this book has been instrumental in helping me figure out how to get what I make to taste like what other people normally eat via applying ingredient ratios in basic baking. It's a base level of knowledge home bakers should work on often.

The simple and clear frameworks laid out in this book helps make scaling and remembering recipes so easy. I also love that this book encourages readers to explore their own creations.
