The New Food Lover's Tiptionary
AVAILABLE AT: Amazon or Barnes & Noble
Julia Child so loved The Food Lover’s
Tiptionary that she wrote: "Sharon, your
book is an invaluable help!
I am using it constantly
because I am working on our companion cookbook for our new television series . .
.
I thank you most gratefully for writing it!"
The
New Food Lover's Tiptionary by Sharon Tyler Herbst is expanded (over 50 new listings), updated and completely revised, making this
indispensable kitchen
reference more user-friendly and essential than ever before.
Organized alphabetically, it contains over 6,000 helpful tips, shortcuts
and other kitchen wisdom—answers
for a universe of
cooking
quandaries including what to do (and what not to do) when you’ve
already done something you shouldn’t have. 
What's more, this comprehensive bible of culinary wisdom has an entirely new format, with entries divided into easy-reference categories (such as “purchasing,” “storing” and “cooking”), which give the reader quick and easy access to the answers they need.
The hundreds of
listings include: foods
(from abalone to zucchini), beverages (beer, cocktails, coffee, tea and wine), kitchenware
(bread machines, pressure cookers, waffle irons and more),
edibles (like biscuits, cheesecakes and soufflés), utensils (from citrus
strippers to sieves), cooking methods (from blanching to
sautéing), cooking styles (including low-fat cooking and microwave
cooking) and food
wraps (from aluminum foil
to plastic wrap). There are detailed sections on
label terms (simplifying the differences between “reduced fat,”
“low-fat,” “__% fat free,” etc.), as well as entries on cholesterol,
sodium, sugar, calories, fiber and product dating—all in
an effort to cut through consumer confusion and facilitate the selection process.
Essential for both experienced and beginner cooks, this one-of-a-kind reference has answers on foods, beverages, cooking tools, techniques, entertaining ideas, recipes, kitchen clean-up, and much more. PLUS there's loads of information on myriad other topics including: Brunches, candles, cheesecloth, chopsticks, edible flowers, freezing food, grilling, table settings and thermometers. PLUS a bounty of ideas and tips on food purchasing, storage and preparation, entertaining ideas and smart ways to use leftovers. PLUS dozens of shorthand "recipes" including a fish pâté, broccoli bisque, cinnamon surprise muffins, blueberry cream, mashed potato mix-ins and molasses butter.
