Summary: Mark Bittman does it again!
Comment: I am very familiar with the delicious recipes created by Mark Bittman. In this cookbook, Jean-Georges Vongerichten (New York City star chef and author of "Simple Cuisine" and"Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef") and Mark Bittman (New York Times Colomnist and author of "The Minimalist Cooks at Home," "How to Cook Everything," "Fish," and "Leafy Greens") have collaborated on a collection of sophisticated, yet easy to prepare dishes.
These recipes use basic uncomplicated ingredients to produce exceptional results. Together, Jean and Mark provide great recipes and include some time saving kitchen hints.
Their "gazpacho" was voted the best Food & Wine Magazine editors had ever tasted. It has just eight supermarket ingredients and can be easily made when you get home from work.

Summary: Very enjoyable
Comment: Fabulous illustrations, solid text, and progressively imaginative recipes make this book one of my best cookbook purchases in years. As the title promises, Mr. Vongerichten takes some basic recipes for simple dishes and progresses each into more and more interesting variations. As an amateur chef, this is the kind of book that makes my hobby very interesting and teaches me not just what to cook but how to cook.

Summary: Your search has ended for the best cookbook of the year 2000
Comment: First of all, the book is gorgeous. Better yet, the recipes are divine. They go from simply luxurious to positively decadent. The day I got the book I made Steak with Butter and Ginger Sauce. It was soooo easy and soooo good, and it was also different from any other steak I had ever made. The fabulous combination of Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Mark Bittman came up with the idea of taking a simple recipe and then building on that recipe to create a series of more sophisticated variations, and the idea really works. Mark Bittman's recipes are always clearly written, and Mr. Vongerichten is truly an alchemist in the kitchen. Whatever he starts with ends up being so much more than the sum of its parts, it's remarkable. Most cookbooks seem to have basically the same recipes distinguished by slightly different methods of arriving at a similar result. Not true of Jean-Georges Vongerichten. His recipes are very unique and usually uncomplicated. The difference is he combines ingredients that go very well together but that no one else has thought of. I have both his other cookbooks, and each recipe I have tried is easy to execute for the home cook. I would recommend both of them also. In fact, all three together would make a great gift set. An even better idea is to get them all for yourself and enjoy the results. Happy cooking and eating.
