Six-Ingredient Solution: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Six-Ingredient Solution" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Think it takes more than a handful of ingredients to get a hearty chicken soup, Sunday dinner worthy roast beef, or robustly flavored spaghetti and meatballs on the table? Think again. The test cooks at Americas Test Kitchen tackled a new challenge in this collection of 175-plus fuss-free recipes that slash the shopping list but deliver the big flavor you d expect. In The Six-Ingredient Solution, we put our ingredients to work and revamped the cooking methods for everything from starters and soups to braises, casseroles, pastas, and desserts without losing any of the flavor.
With our smart ingredient choices, we found a way to infuse our butternut squash soup with warm spice notes, minus a ton of spices (a chai teabag did the trick), and figured out how to give our roasted chicken intense flavor and a nicely bronzed exterior with just one ingredient (a glaze of pomegranate molasses, brushed on every 10 minutes, added sweet-tart flavor, plus its sugars helped the skin crisp and brown). A pasta-night stand-in (prepared pesto) helped us achieve a rich-tasting meatloaf with big garlic and herb notes no chopping necessary.
But selecting the right mix of ingredients and convenience products was only part of the solution overhauling the cooking methods also helped eke out more flavor from fewer ingredients. For an easy, weeknight-friendly casserole, we unstuffed our shells. Tossing cooked shells with store-bought sauce enriched with browned sausage and fennel before baking ensured all the flavors and ingredients had a chance to meld in the oven, for a heartier dinner with less fuss.
This collection shows you really can do a lot with a little when you know what youre doing. With The Six-Ingredient Solution, we might have cut back on the ingredients, but we didnt cut back on the flavor.

Contents

Welcome to Americas Test Kitchen

This book has been tested, written, and edited by the folks at Americas Test Kitchen, a very real 2,500-square-foot kitchen located just outside of Boston. It is the home of Cooks Illustrated magazine and Cooks Country magazine and is the Monday-through-Friday destination for more than three dozen test cooks, editors, food scientists, tasters, and cookware specialists. Our mission is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the best version.

We start the process of testing a recipe with a complete lack of conviction, which means that we accept no claim, no theory, no technique, and no recipe at face value. We simply assemble as many variations as possible, test a half-dozen of the most promising, and taste the results blind. We then construct our own hybrid recipe and continue to test it, varying ingredients, techniques, and cooking times until we reach a consensus. The result, we hope, is the best version of a particular recipe, but we realize that only you can be the final judge of our success (or failure). As we like to say in the test kitchen, We make the mistakes, so you dont have to.

All of this would not be possible without a belief that good cooking, much like good music, is indeed based on a foundation of objective technique. Some people like spicy foods and others dont, but there is a right way to saut, there is a best way to cook a pot roast, and there are measurable scientific principles involved in producing perfectly beaten, stable egg whites. This is our ultimate goal: to investigate the fundamental principles of cooking so that you become a better cook. It is as simple as that.

You can watch us work (in our actual test kitchen) by tuning in to Americas Test Kitchen (AmericasTestKitchenTV.com) or Cooks Country from Americas Test Kitchen (CooksCountryTV.com) on public television, or by subscribing to Cooks Illustrated magazine (CooksIllustrated.com) or Cooks Country magazine (CooksCountry.com). We welcome you into our kitchen, where you can stand by our side as we test our way to the best recipes in America.

Preface

We recently hosted a group of girls from Junior League in our test kitchen for a Saturday morning cooking lesson. I told them that the simplest food is usually the best and that on the rare occasion when I have cooked with a well-known food personality, I am astonished that the menu is so simple. Julia Child once served me boiled new potatoes with a tin of caviar on the side (and lots of wine). James Beard was known for his love of bacon and simple picnics. Others have prepared a simple soup, an oyster stew, or a roast leg of lamb. And Jacques Ppin is famous for giving a final exam to his culinary students that is nothing more than a roast chicken, a side of potatoes, and a perfectly dressed salad.

The point is that recipes with a limited number of ingredients are often the best recipes. They also show off ones skills in the kitchen since one has to pay attention to each and every item. And that is the most satisfying way to cooklimit your menu, limit your ingredient list, and focus on the cooking and treating each food with the respect it deserves.

All of this has led us to publish the book you are holding in your hand, The Six-Ingredient Solution. We undertook this project not just to give you quick and easy recipes, but to celebrate the very best way to cook, making the most of every ingredient and every step. We also developed this book to refresh our own repertoire of cooking techniques. We were reminded of the benefits of high heat for flavor development, we explored new ingredients to enhance flavors (the liquid inside a jar of sun-dried tomatoes, for example), we bloomed spices in oil to bring out their rich flavors, we found new uses for old ingredients (hot pepper jelly made a terrific glaze for roast chicken), and we took a new look at lots of supermarket pantry ingredients, such as Thai curry paste.
