 The Best Gift For A New Chef September 14, 2008
Larousse Gastronomique I purchased this book for a friend who was offered a job as an executive chef at a country club. I was told by many it is the bible for all chefs. I paged through it and it's amazing. I am not a chef, but I cook a lot. I will be buying one of these for myself! As far as the friend, he was pleasantly surprised to say the least by his going away/congrats gift! It is a must have.

I bought this book for my cousin's bridal shower. (It was on her registry.) The day it arrived, it was raining, and the book's pages got oh-so-slightly crinkled. However, it was still in ok condition to give as a gift.

This book is apparently famous in cooking circles, which is why I needed it for my cookery course at college. I was honestly pleasantly surprised with it, it had a lot of detailed colour photos, sections for each countries own unique foods, a lot of French and Continental cooking (of course). I could really recommend this book to anyone who is serious about cooking or even someone who is just curious about it.
The chef's bible February 10, 2008
This book is definitly the Chef's bible. If you're studing in a culinary school this book is a must! It's so complete, remember being chef isn't just cook nice, being a chef means have knowledge, knowing why food has reactions, why we have to cook in certain ways, etc... this book will help you to get that!
