I have been reading this book as I am going to bed and have a hard time putting it down.

Yes, I read cookbooks cover to cover. Some are more readable than others. This is is quite readable and has lovely notes on technique and flavors as well as nice pictures.

I also watch cooking shows. I have at least as good an idea of what something is supposed to taste like from the ingredient list as from the show's commentary--as long as I have a rough idea of what the ingredients are.

Reminds me of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child thriller, but without the Crighton scifi element.

Honestly, I am having a hard time picking this book back up. I thought I would be interested when I was reading about a cargo cult interpreting their colonial settlers, but instead, they have been abandoned for a confusing mishmash of characters I am having trouble keeping up with and a bunch of sexual references. Meh.
