The Ratio Chart

Donna, my wife and co-conspirator, created this ratio chart for doughs and batters based on my book Ratio.  I’ve long had Uwe Hestnar’s ratios framed in my kitchen (he’s the guy who first introduced me to the concept of ratios, the entire meeting of which is described in The Making of a Chef in the chapter “You Understand What I Am Saying?”), and I asked Donna to make one for Doughs and Batters.  It’s pinned on the board beside my desk.  I sometime I just sit and stare at it.  I love it for the information and for the evocative black and white photographs.
