New Cookbook coming out--The Food Lab

Love reading Kenji's columns.  Like America's Test Kitchen, it's all about the science of cooking.  http://www.kenjilopezalt.com/book-gallery/

  • Kenji has a great approach to breaking down what works for cooking.   I'd be inclined to pick this book up.

    There's a new post today from him on doing pork ribs, SV. It starts w. a very good description of what is going one as the meat cooks, and how the texture develops. He does finish both wet and dry style in a medium heat oven or over charcoal. My only nit with his approach is that he uses liquid smoke. I've tried different brands every now and then, and have never enjoyed the results. (Sort of the bong water of BBQ, if you will.) I did pick up some hickory smoke powder made by mixing smoke somehow w. maltodextrin. That works OK. Not at all harsh or acrid, and doesn't take much.

    Have you tried this stuff?: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007A3TBXM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

    I don't use liquid smoke often but when I do it's Cedar House!  Stay smokey my friends.


    I look forward to Kenji's book - I preordered it when he announced it a few months ago. Hope it's more than just a collection of what has already appeared on the website. We'll know next week. But, even if it's not I'm glad to throw a few bucks his way.
