Great cookbook!
This cookbook is great - it has quite a bit of information about doing many things with food, as well as recipes. This is not a book for beginners, however. It is definitely for people who are experienced, and enjoy fine dining. Totally recommend it... This book is not for the Hamberger Helper types....... but if the amateur chef wants to be enlightened and take his or her skills to the next level one notch at a time, this is the book. There are techniques, recipes, definitions, in-depth instructions - just about anything the culinary enthusiast wants or needs to know, and it's all in alphabetical order. This book has been updated several times in the last 75 or so years so this is certainly not an evening's read - it is 1300 or so pages. The only thing I did not like about this book is that it was printed in China and the ink used in the printing is awful - it smells like a roof that is being tarred. I put the book outside to air out and it sure helped. For a book as sophisticated as this, I wish it would have been printed using a quality food-friendly ink. If you are interested in cooking... you MUST HAVE IT Really, an invaluable guide for everything you need to know from ingredients to kitchenware. Excellent material, nicely edited. I love it. real excitement i love this book. it is lot more than it is promising. this book is not only answering your questions but makes you ask more. excellent cooking resource I find a lot of information about lots of different cuisines and numerous recipes. Its serves me very well. | |
