In programming there is the concept of "technical taste".It applies to cookbooks too: Every Grain of Rice by Fuchsia Dunlop. https://www.amazon.com/Every-Grain-Rice-Chinese-Cooking/dp/0... (https://www.amazon.com/Every-Grain-Rice-Chinese-Cooking/dp/0393089045) This is a fantastic cookbook if you are interested in cooking Chinese food and a great reason to become interested if you are not. The author is a fine thoughtful writer and has really good taste and recipe judgement. The result is an intriguing collection of simple but good to amazing recipes with almost no duds. I've made over 60 of the recipes this year and almost all were a success. I love food and cooking and have over 70 cookbooks but this one has given me the most pleasure.
