 This Has Everything March 4, 2008

If you are interested in cooking you will love this book. Anything and everything that has to do with it is in it. I own and use numerous cookbooks, but none of them compare. This book explains the "why" of technics. It goes from the basics to the complicated, from history to todays modern kitchens. From now on this will be the first cookbook I turn to. Love it!
Great Book to hit the ground running! February 1, 2008
I personally use this book not only for school but for home as well. Directions are precise and to the point, pictures are clearly labeled and well taken. If you are just a beginner or in the culinary field I highly recommend checking this book out!

This book has EVERYTHING. Don't understand some of those basic terms they use on the cooking shows? They're in here! With great recipes and beautiful pictures, On Cooking is like an entire cooking course in itself.

This is much more than a cook book. This is the main text for several of my son's culinary classes. After looking through it and with my enjoyment in the kitchen; I just knew I had to have it. You'll learn techniques, history, trouble shooting, as well as hundreds of receipts. The perfect gift for the person "who has everything" or loves to get crazy in the kitchen.
 Excellent, if pricy, resource. May 15, 2007

"On Cooking" is an excelent resource for home cooks and professionals. The book didn't come with the DVD "package" that was offered at my college bookstore, but that can be ordered directly from Pearson Educational for an extra charge. I like the way culinary history is integrated within the chapters, along with explanation of techniques and receipes by recognized authorities in professional cooking. The techinique illustrations are quite good.
