Organized alphabetically from "Acidity" to "Zucchini" this compendium of cooking techniques, ingredient facts and smart tips is comprehensive and prosaic. Each entry is broken down to its "Basics," with "Problem Solvers," "Time Savers," "Flavor Tips" and "Healthy Hints" that can be ignored or pressed into service as necessary. Joachim (Prevention's The Healthy Cook) includes over 1,000 full-blown recipes, mostly American standards like Pot Roast or Classic Macaroni and Cheese, though a few are more adventurous (Indian Ground Meat Kabobs made with lamb, Black Olive Tapenade).
