Ruhlman, who co-wrote The French Laundry Cookbook (with chef Thomas Keller) and Charcuterie (with Brian Polcyn) and famously documented his year at the Culinary Institute of America in The Making of a Chef, notes that most of us pick up cooking skills on a need-to-know basis without a teacher at our side.īut he also believes "there are too many cookbooks published each year." So before committing to Ruhlman's Twenty, he explored the subject of teaching cookbooks on his blog and concluded there was "no simple but systematic guide for becoming a better cook."
But that's the great thing about food and cooking. Two years later that conversation has produced Ruhlman's Twenty: 20 Techniques, 100 Recipes, a Cook's Manifesto, a thick but accessible tome aimed at taking your cooking game to the next level - no matter where you start. Seamus Mullen's ancient grains mushroom stew, for example, looks both like something you'd want in your weeknight rotation and a side you'd serve at a dinner party.The author replied that there are "'really only about 20 things you need to know in order to cook just about anything,' and then I watched his eyes light up."
The app's culinary team takes careful measure to test each recipe as many times as necessary to make sure it's accessible and works well for the home cook.
