Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday CookingMichael Ruhlman's groundbreaking New York Times bestseller takes us to the very "truth" of cooking: it is not about recipes but rather about basic ratios and fundamental techniques that makes all food come together, simply.

Michael Ruhlman's groundbreaking New York Times bestseller takes us to the very "truth" of cooking: it is not about recipes but rather about basic ratios and fundamental techniques that makes all food come together, simply.

When you know a culinary ratio, it's not like knowing a single recipe, it's instantly knowing a thousand.

Why spend time sorting through the millions of cookie recipes available in books, magazines, and on the Internet? Isn't it easier just to remember 1-2-3? That's the ratio of ingredients that always make a basic, delicious cookie dough: 1 part sugar, 2 parts fat, and 3 parts flour. From there, add anything you want--chocolate, lemon and orange zest, nuts, poppy seeds, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, almond extract, or peanut butter, to name a few favorite additions. Replace white sugar with brown for a darker, chewier cookie. Add baking powder and/or eggs for a lighter, airier texture.

Ratios are the starting point from which a thousand variations begin.

Ratios are the simple proportions of one ingredient to another. Biscuit dough is 3:1:2--or 3 parts flour, 1 part fat, and 2 parts liquid. This ratio is the beginning of many variations, and because the biscuit takes sweet and savory flavors with equal grace, you can top it with whipped cream and strawberries or sausage gravy. Vinaigrette is 3:1, or 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, and is one of the most useful sauces imaginable, giving everything from grilled meats and fish to steamed vegetables or lettuces intense flavor.

Cooking with ratios will unchain you from recipes and set you free. With thirty-three ratios and suggestions for enticing variations, Ratio is the truth of cooking: basic preparations that teach us how the fundamental ingredients of the kitchen--water, flour, butter and oils, milk and cream, and eggs--work. Change the ratio and bread dough becomes pasta dough, cakes become muffins become popovers become crepes.

As the culinary world fills up with overly complicated recipes and never-ending ingredient lists, Michael Ruhlman blasts through the surplus of information and delivers this innovative, straightforward book that cuts to the core of cooking. Ratio provides one of the greatest kitchen lessons there is--and it makes the cooking easier and more satisfying than ever.

SO SPARKLY!
Number of Items: 1
IT MADE ME SO SHINY! I love this spray so much. It dries quickly and lasts a while. Even though the bottle is small, a little bit goes a long way. It is easy to apply and is small enough you can carry it around so you can glitter other people, since people will definitely ask! I have used this one bottle many times.

For Those Who Love A LOT of Glitter
Number of Items: 2
This glitter is for those that love lots of glitter. It sprays out in abundance quickly and lasts in hair. After I ran a 5k, the glitter in my hair was still in tact in full effect. It had shed off of my clothes for the most part, but good for lasting in hair.

Love this!
Number of Items: 1
It is a great product, it does look great on skin. My daughter used on her hair and it was beautiful. Just watch out you will have glitter forsure all over your floor. It sure does spray everywhere. Recommend to do outside.

Shimmery, Fun, and Stays Put All Night!
Number of Items: 1
I bought the HANYWIL Body Glitter for a themed party, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The sparkle is gorgeous—rich, multidimensional, and not that flat kind of glitter you sometimes get. A little goes a long way, but it’s also buildable if you want that extra “wow” factor. What I loved most is how comfortable it felt on my skin—no scratchy feeling, and it didn’t flake off everywhere. It stayed put for hours, even with dancing and a little bit of sweat (yes, we were having that much fun). I also used a touch in my hairline, and it caught the light beautifully in photos. Cleanup was surprisingly easy—came off with regular makeup remover and a gentle wash, no stubborn sparkle residue the next day. If you want something that’s fun, easy to use, and actually looks high-quality in real life and in pictures, this is it. Definitely buying more colors for future events!
