Kenji's The Food Lab
I'm just getting into the thick of it, and it's awesome. Like a modern day Betty Crocker.

He's got some good stuff in there. I like his writing.
I managed to get "Modernist Cuisine at Home" from the library. Wow it's incredible. Now I want a sous vide setup, a siphon, and a pressure cooker.

what does it offer that a google search of serious eats doesn't? I've cut way back on cookbooks and food magazines since I realized I usually default to google.

A friend sent it to us a few weeks ago. Really great cookbook/science lesson.
However, my wife made the bolognese last night and it was a serious fail.

I'm an old soul, old school.
I prefer, and still buy hardcovers.
And I still prefer buying CDs.
Don't mind throwing him a little cash for the free content I have learned from in the past, I'm not that much of a cheap a$$.

Was just over at serious eats, checking on the immersion blender mayo. Yet another of one of the many great innovations from Kenji et. al. Another book I have to add to my collection.
I bought a couple of K$ of cookbooks a few years ago, am trying not to jump into that again. Alas, MC just released their book on baking. Seeing that I gave my S. Corriher book "Bakewise," to 1 daughter, much to the displeasure of the other, I guess I'll have to get the MC volume, and pass it on, after a quick peruse.
@blind99, it will be hard to stop at just the toys you mentioned. You probably won't get a centrifuge, or a roto-vap, but there's way to many toys that don't start at a grand that you'll want.

I pre-ordered a copy anyway when he announced it last year just to help support someone whose work I enjoy and benefit from.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -
I really like the book! I frequent the website a lot, but it was a good way to support his work.A bison’s level of aggressiveness, both physical and passive, is legendary. - NPS

I find the crap-ton of advertising on the mobile site off-putting, and the "millenial" style of writing annoys me at times ( I know I sound cantankerous). But I do check it out from time to time. Don't love it enough to buy the book right now.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

With this book, you learn information that you had no idea about. Hard to Google that.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
@gdenby what I really need is a 2nd kitchen. a lot of my old Italian relatives had 2nd kitchens in their garages, basements. with a walk in fridge/freezer.
I saw they had announced a bread book, is it out now?

My mother had 2 kitchens. Basement had an old heavy metal Tappan stove which remained her favorite forever. Was her mother's before her. 2 stoves, 2 'fridges. a deep freeze, a half a room filled w. pots and pans, another filled with tableware. Dishwasher and garbage disposal. A gas grill she never quite figured out.
Sadly, she passed before she could show much to her grand daughters, leaving me, the boy who almost never was in the kitchen, to hold her oven mitts. But the influence has passed on. All the kids cook well, 1 professionally.
