What I’m Reading Right Now: Cooking For Geeks
Sometimes I like to read cookbooks like they are novels. Start from the beginning and just read it through. You would be surprised what you can pick up from reading recipes that you will never make. It also lets you get a better view of a chef, reading all of their material. Cooking for Geeks…
