…experience. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Two of the best books I have that "explain" how cooking works (albeit in a very minimal sense) are David(?) Rosengarten's Dean & Deluca Cookbook and Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Cake Bible (now over 20 years old and very, very well thumbed and sticky :-) I'd recommend them to anyone.
You should have one trustworthy cookbook I'm late to the party, but wholeheartedly agree. My most read cookbooks are: The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum. Had it since graduating college 25 years ago and every page has butter/chocolate/etc stains. The Dean & Deluca Cookbook David Rosengarten. Simple recipes, good explanations. Classic…
If you are looking for a book that does this (explains why things are done) with baked goods, I recommend The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum. Hopefully it's still in print: I literally bought mine half my life ago.
As long as we're doing recommendations :-) Before the days of Alton Brown, I lived by The Cake Bible https://www.amazon.com/Cake-Bible-Rose-Levy-Beranbaum/dp/068... I'm amazed that it still costs about the same that I paid back in 1988! Classic Home Desserts (https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Home-Desserts-Treasury-Contem...)…
I think Lebovitz "wrote" the Dean & DeLuca cookbook, didn't he? I love that book. [edit] Nope, David Rosengarten Anyway, as long as we're making suggestions, my two favorite dessert books are The Cake Bible, Rose Levy Beranbaum. Had it for at least 30 years and was one of the first cookbooks I ever bought. Classic Home Desserts, Richard Sax. Borrowed from a friend and after she warned me not to get anything…
Years after I married her, I discovered that my wife had partially paid for college by baking cakes for weddings and other events. Yes, she used the Cake Bible. I saw some of her Polaroid pictures she had taken of some of the cakes she had made, based on those recipes. I kid you not, her cakes looked better than the ones shown in the book. And the ones in…
……经验。涂抹、冲洗、重复。我手头能“解释”烹饪原理（哪怕只是点到为止）的两本最好的书，是大卫（?）·罗森加滕的《Dean & Deluca 食谱》，以及罗斯·利维·贝兰鲍姆的《蛋糕圣经》（The Cake Bible，现在已经有20多年历史了，被翻得破破烂烂而且油腻腻的 :-) 我强烈推荐给大家。

你手头得有一本靠谱的食谱。我来晚了，但我举双手赞同。我翻得最多的食谱有：罗斯·利维·贝兰鲍姆的《蛋糕圣经》。从25年前大学毕业就一直留着，每一页都有黄油、巧克力之类的污渍。大卫·罗森加滕的《Dean & Deluca 食谱》。菜谱简单，解释到位。经典的……

如果你想找一本针对烘焙类食品做这种原理解释（说明为什么要这么做）的书，我推荐罗斯·利维·贝兰鲍姆的《蛋糕圣经》。希望它还在印：我买那本的时候真的是我半辈子之前的事了。

既然大家都在推荐 :-) 在奥尔顿·布朗成名之前，我就是靠《蛋糕圣经》过日子的 https://www.amazon.com/Cake-Bible-Rose-Levy-Beranbaum/dp/068... 让我惊讶的是，现在的价格跟我1988年买的时候差不多！《经典家常甜点》（https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Home-Desserts-Treasury-Contem...）……

我记得是莱博维茨“写”了那本《Dean & DeLuca 食谱》，对吧？我很喜欢那本书。[编辑] 记错了，是大卫·罗森加滕。反正既然大家都在提建议，我最喜欢的两本甜点书是：罗斯·利维·贝兰鲍姆的《蛋糕圣经》，买了至少30年了，是我买的最早的食谱之一；理查德·萨克斯的《经典家常甜点》，从朋友那借的，她还警告我别弄脏任何东西……

结婚多年后，我才发现我妻子当年上大学有一部分学费是靠给婚礼等活动做蛋糕赚来的。没错，她用的就是《蛋糕圣经》。我见过她拍的一些宝丽来照片，都是按那些食谱做出来的蛋糕。不骗你，她做的蛋糕看起来比书里展示的还要好。而书里的那些……
