The Conduct of the Kitchen

Good cooking comes from a handful of great ingredients, the most indispensable one being flexibility. Precision, unless carried out to the most finite degree, can often be more misleading than vagueness. When ingredients are kept loose and narrative, it gets the home cook to move, innovate, and improvise, to head off to the store and the pantry to discover new inspiration. It encourages creativity to come about based on what the cook comes across. If you dare to tinker, this book will not let you down.
