Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ExcellentIf you could only have one book in the kitchen, this should be it. It de-mystifies the 'Art' of cookery in a way that is both clear and consise, whilst at the same time making it possible for the reader to think creatively themselves. An invaluable reference book that you will grab off the shelf again and again. Rating: - An excellent guide for the confident home chefIf you are someone who is confident in the kitchen and looking to understand some of the classic techniques and tricks of professional chefs then this book is essential. Rather than "hand hold" and present the basics in a "step-by-step" fashion, Le Cordon Bleu's Complete Cooking Techniques assumes you understand the fundamentals (i.e. "how to boil an egg") and proceeds to explain how to execute some more advanced cooking techniques with clear, concise guidelines.

Rating:  - Comprehensive guideThere certainly isn't a lack of illustrations in this book.

If you are eager to learn some basics, this is the book for you. Rating: - Amazing--perky as a tv show, yet sophisticated as can be.I love this book. Every technique I have struggled to pick up from other cookbooks, every vegetable I have struggled to prepare, every mystery of French cooking that left me intimidated and terrified is demystified in this easy-to-follow guide to fine French cooking. The recipes are beyond excellent, make you feel like you are following directly in the footsteps of the great masters of grande cuisine. Which you are. It's a great feeling. All the basics are here, as well as variations, as well as some more intimidating stuff which is made less so by lots and lots of bright pictures and snappy hint boxes. I never thought a cookbook by Cordon Bleu would be perky, but this one IS. Seriously, it's like watching a TV show, but in ... Read More: |
