About The Book

The James Beard Award–winning, bestselling author of CookWise and BakeWise delivers essential cooking know-how based on her expansive understanding of food science.

Want to cook fluffier scrambled eggs and more flavorful sauces, keep your greens brilliantly green, and make everything taste more delicious? KitchenWise combines beloved cookbook author Shirley Corriher’s down-to-earth advice with scientific expertise to address everyday cooking issues. Whether you are a beginner or a professional chef, Shirley’s guidance will save you time and money, and help you know exactly what to do at the stove.

A gifted teacher with a degree in chemistry, Shirley takes readers through the hows and whys of what she does in the kitchen, explaining the science behind common problems and offering solutions for how to fix them. (For example, salt has an amazing ability to suppress bitterness and allow other flavors to emerge.) In KitchenWise, which is filled with more than thirty of Shirley’s favorite time-tested recipes, readers will learn why certain ingredients work well together and what makes good food great.

Amazingly informative, approachable, and packed with proven techniques, KitchenWise serves up new ways to get the most from your meals.
