While common sense tells you to wash your veggies before you start chopping, you can actually get rid of the bitterness by working backward: massage, chop, then wash. The idea behind Cook's Science was to bring that kind of chemistry-filled expert advice to the Cook's Illustrated fan base.
Each of the book's 50 chapters are dedicated to a different ingredient, including everything from ginger to pork to almonds and, yes, kale. So if you're not satisfied with merely crushing your own kale, you can also learn the best conditions under which to grow the sweetest kale, or read how to pop out crunchy batches of kale chips using your microwave.

In a few minutes the kale is still raw but is naturally steamed by the hot food to soften it a bit.
