Ruhlman's how to braise

Michael Ruhlman

The second in a new series of highly accessible and instructive single-subject books covering basic to advanced techniques that will make you a better cook. According to author Michael Ruhlman, braising is what cooking is truly about - transformation. You start with a tough, often inexpensive, cut of meat, and through your care and knowledge as a cook, you turn it into something tender and succulent and exquisite. That is true cooking, cooking that engages both mind and soul.
