mark bittman is the best: 
This is a great book and I gave it five stars HOWEVER it is not the book I needed; it is huge and very complete and would be a perfect first cookbook. I went back and got several of his smaller, more specific book and that is what I needed. Perhaps the picure or description should be more accurate, or perhaps I just missed it. But if you havent discovered Mark Bittman, do so now.
