Accompanied by striking photographs and brief, straightforward instructions, these thematic matrices show how simple changes in preparation and ingredient swaps in a master recipe can yield dishes that are each completely different from the original, and equally delicious. <p/>In <i>Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix</i>, Mark's matrices come together to create a collection of over 400 flexible recipes covering vegetables, fruits, meats and chicken, and even desserts. Whether you're cooking up soup (creamy, brothy, earthy, or hearty), freezing ice pops (in fruity, savory, creamy, or boozy varieties), or preparing asparagus (steamed, roasted, stir-fried, or grilled)<i>, </i> following<i> </i>Mark's approach to culinary improvisation will deliver stand-out results.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>From the man who tried to teach you <i>How to Cook Everything</i> comes this, a book on how to improvise in the kitchen. <i>Kitchen Matrix</i> is a somewhat genius concept: take an ingredient or dish (tomatoes), offer a few base recipes (salad, soup, stuffed, sauce), and some basic variations on those recipes (a BLT salad, or a tomato eggplant caponata sauce).
