What do you think of Michael Ruhlman's new book?
It's called "The Elements of Cooking". It's kind of a primer for the basics of home cooking. He's doing a booksigning this weekend at Borders in Cleveland Heights.

I've been paging through the book. I really enjoy Ruhlman's writing style. The definitions are written clearly.
However I really wished they used different paper and ink for the book - its difficult to read in dim lighting conditions.

It's enjoyable and informative as far as it goes, but it's like his other books. I skimmed it after reading closely the first few pages and gathering the information he gave the reader: a list of today's great chefs. After that it seems like I'm reading filler. I saw give a reading and I think he's very charming.
