What’s the Difference? is an irreverent, approachable, casually nerdy book that explores the distinctions between things that are often confused for each other—in the kitchen, on the plate, behind the bar, and everywhere in between. What’s the difference between kosher salt and table salt, or bourbon and rye, or crumbles and cobblers and crisps? What’s the Difference? answers those questions and more in an accessible, engaging voice that meets the reader exactly where they’re at. It’s for food nerds, for home cooks, for wannabe foodies; it’s for anyone who just wants to feel more confident in the kitchen and at the table. Whether it’s read cover-to-cover or casually flipped through, What’s the Difference? delivers a decisive hit of delightful, tactical knowledge with every turn of the page. Topics include: all-purpose flour vs. bread flour vs. pastry flour; Bacon vs. Pancetta vs. Speck vs. Pork Belly; Creme Fraiche vs. Sour Cream and Jams vs. Jellys vs. Preserves.
