The Most Beautiful Cookbook Ever August 31, 2008
This is a cook book and a how-to-do-it prep book for classical French cooking. While the recipes are excellent, the pics on how to prepare in the classical style are the best I have ever seen--the phototography is exceptional. Pretty much every step in classical cooking is explained from prepping meats, poultry, and fish to baking. While extremely useful in the kitchen while prepping and cooking, this could also be a coffee table book--it is that beautiful.
A must in every kitchen July 28, 2008
This is one of those reference works that every cook should have at hand. Whether you are into serious gourmet cooking or you merely want to know how to carve a turkey or what part of the cow does a strip steak come from, you will have the answer in this book in beautiful color illustrations and easy to follow explanations.
A very neat culinary book May 12, 2008
I simply love this book. My native language is not English, but I could read it and understand very easily. Also, it's full of unforgettable insights which I like the best. So I would recommend this book to people like me - not very fluent in English, but eager to learn how to cook properly.

Not so much a cookbook as a practical guide to French technique, from the basics to the challenging. And it's got lots of color pictures! I've used the instructions to cut up a duck, to make bechamel, and to bake the chocolate-walnut cake. But I've also used the book to refine my technique to improve upon recipes from other cookbooks. A wonderful addition to my library.
