How to cook...?


Can someone recommend a good book that teaches how to cook? I'm not looking for a cookbook with recipes. I'm looking for a book that teaches cooking techniques (broiling, basting, poaching, baking, etc), how to identify and use spices properly, when to use what cookware, how to cut certain meat, how long certain foods should be cooked, which foods are compatible when mixed together, etc. I can whip up a decent meal now, but I have limited cooking knowledge. I love food and eating, so I want to learn as much as I can so I can expand my cooking ability.
Since I don't have time to look through every book and website you've recommended, I will put the question up for a vote for Best Answer. Looks like The Joy of Cooking is pretty popular among the answers, so I will start with that and see where it leads me. Thank you all for your answers.

Gerd Natural Remedy – Use Spices As Heartburn Remedy

You don’t have to go far to get gerd natural remedy. It is close by and available in your kitchen. Natural remedy of acid reflux is a far better option than going in for drugs made by pharmaceutical companies.

They don’t cure the disease, but provide momentary relief. What you end up getting is fast relief, but as soon as the action of the medicine wears off, the acid reflux begins to act again.

Otherwise, how would the drug companies benefit if you are cured for ever and don’t have to get back to buying their stuff?

Cinnamon is known to heal a string of diseases. It is a very powerful cure and natural all the way to treat gerd. The problem arises when the stomach acid gets over produced and there is no controlling it.

Do not scrape them, and the flavor will be retained; do not cover them and the color will be preserved. When the onions are tender remove them. When the carrots are done peel them and slice thin. Put in baking dish a layer of carrots, sprinkle with salt and pepper and dots of butter. Proceed in this way until you have used all the carrots. Moisten with a cup of new milk, into which a beaten egg has been carefully stirred, and a good pinch of salt. Spread over the top a layer of bread crumbs and bake until a nice brown.CITRON PUDDINGCream together half a cup of butter and one cup of sugar; add the well beaten yolks of five eggs, the juice and grated peel of one lemon, and whip until very light, then add the whites beaten to a froth alternately with two full cups of flour, through which must be sifted two even teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Butter a mold lavishly, line it with strips of preserved citron, using a quarter of a pound for a pudding of this size, put in the batter, cover and set in a pan with boiling water in a good oven. Keep the pan nearly full of boiling water and bake steadily one and one half hours. Dip the mold in cold water, turn out upon a hot dish, and eat at once with any kind of sweet pudding sauce. The mold must not be filled more than two thirds full, in order to give the pudding a chance to swell."

Elegant SS styling

A stylish grinder for the serious coffee buff, this Cuisinart Supreme Grind automatic burr mill provides plenty of options and good results in an attractive and tidy structure. This makes it a great appliance for houses where coffee is a steady dietary staple and preferences vary from espresso to French drip. Outfitted with a heavy-duty motor, the machine has 18 grind settings ranging from fine to extra-coarse, which are controlled by a clearly marked, pleasantly clicking dial. Rotate the hopper to personal preference, and the machine does the rest, using burr plates for a highly uniform grind that protects bean oils and releases more flavor. Automatic operation in this grinder covers quantity as well--simply set the amount slide control anywhere from 4 to 18 cups. The grinder shuts off when the desired level is reached. Transfer of ready grounds to a coffee pot or espresso group is quick and tidy, because the grind chamber slides out with its clever lid in place. Smart and elegant, the grinder has brushed stainless steel housing and black accents in durable plastic. The hopper, hopper lid, grinding burr, and grind chamber all remove easily for cleanup, and a safety feature keeps the grinder from operating without the hopper and chamber in place. Standing 6-3/4 by 9-3/4 by 5 inches, the unit has built-in power cord storage at its base. Cuisinart includes a coffee scoop/cleaning brush in one and covers the machine with an 18-month warranty. --Emily Bedard
