which is a great cookbook in that it not only gives recipes but it also includes explanations of the experiments they undertook to come up with the Best Recipe.We tried the Northern Corn Bread, the spiral ham, mashed sweet potatoes and pancakes. All things we've baked before but that came out much better with the new book's recommendations.Inspired perhaps by the cookbook, or just because someone here likes to conduct his own scientific experiments we also had a Christmas morning coffee-off. Using the same brand of coffee, freshly ground, in the same amount and with the same amount of water we brewed coffee using:
1. Chemex
2. Mr. Coffee®
3. French Press
The coffee was then poured into secretly coded mugs and served (black) to 4 testers.
The results were surprising, but unanimous. Mr. Coffee made the best brew, followed by the Chemex. The French Press came in at last place.

The cook book is a good one. Especially for us with a scientific background.
The chemex came in a close second, the press a distant third, surprising us all.
