1.0 out of 5 stars SAME BOOK AS THE COOK'S BIBLE (CHEAPER) - BE CAREFULL, 8 Oct 2009

N. Benito "nbo" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Le Cordon Bleu's Complete Cooking Techniques: The Indispensable Reference Demonstates Over 700 Illustrated Techniques with 2,000 Photos and 200 Recipe (Hardcover)

i think the book on its own is excellent, would rate this a 5 star book HOWEVER i have rated it a 1star as i bought it along with Le Cordon Bleu's Cook's Bible (much cheaper version) and it is exactly the SAME BOOK, SAME PAGES, ILUSTRATIONS... everything EXCEPT THE COVER OF IT and the MORE EXPENSIVE PRICE. so i'm in the process of returning it! (which is actually a pain). n.The Cooks' Bible

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive guide, 6 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Le Cordon Bleu's Complete Cooking Techniques: The Indispensable Reference Demonstates Over 700 Illustrated Techniques with 2,000 Photos and 200 Recipe (Hardcover)

There certainly isn't a lack of illustrations in this book. It serves as a practical guide of cooking techniques and covers all aspects and indgredients of cooking, which includes sauces, vegetables, poultry, meat, seafood, herbs and spices, soups, desserts, bakery, dairy, fruits, and literally anything one can think of. However, do not expect to find many recipes, because as the title suggests, the book will be helpful if it used for cooking techniques. If you are eager to learn some basics, this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for the confident home chef, 3 May 2004

Peter A. J. Bennett (UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Le Cordon Bleu's Complete Cooking Techniques: The Indispensable Reference Demonstates Over 700 Illustrated Techniques with 2,000 Photos and 200 Recipe (Hardcover)

If 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.

For example, the section on poached eggs clearly explains what you need (very fresh eggs) and the technique required to produce the pefect poached egg with firm white and oozing yolk in a few succint paragraphs.

This is just one example of many in the book which also contains overviews of equipment and ingredients as well as a number of illustrative full recipes.
