I had always flirted with the idea of getting Ratio, but I foolishly assumed the book would basically boil down to "3 parts oil 1 part vinegar".

I honestly feel like it's closer to what you think it would be than what everyone else is saying it is. I got it expecting it to change my outlook on cooking, but it's really a very good way to look at combining ingredients for baking, dressings/marinades, and... not much else. I don't really have a use for it, if you wanted to throw me a few $ for shipping you can have my copy.

Idk. After a certain point I don't really ever use recipes for most things, so a quick ratio reference for baking and such is nice. These days I use Ratio, The Flavor Bible, and sometimes MC@home. Most everything else just sits in my bookshelf.

Yeah I don't really use a ton of recipes either, but I literally never bake, so 75% of the book was completely unhelpful to me. The rest of it I mostly have my own go-tos/inexact mixtures that work out for me.
