Boiling water

I came across a really helpful cookbook the other day Hvordan koke vann (How To Boil Water) by Andreas Viestad. I think a lot of you out there know his name - he's certainly known internationally. The book goes through all sorts of basic cooking techniques, and has lots of technical detail. Like - what temperature should water boil at for tea, and how can you tell? The book also has sections on fixing certain cooking mishaps. For someone who didn't grow up in Norway, a section with photos on "How to filet a fish" is very helpful. Then there's the next section: "How to filet a fish quickly". Very amusing. I think I'll be using this book quite a lot.

Here's a Norwegian-language link to the book: http://www.cappelen.no/main/katalog.aspx?f=1006&isbn=8202243181
