This book covers so many basic techniques and ingredients for the western Europe region that it is indespensible for anyone not having access to a qualified chef. The book starts with pictures of basic ingredients with enough text to describe texture and taste, covering fish, vegetables, herbs, meat, poultry, game, pulses, pasta, grains and so on.
What follows is basic equipment and what it is used for, to covering preparation of food. (Do you know how to prepare a pheasant, or lard-lace a joint, or how to prepare a whole fish?)
Then the book covers basic dishes with step by step pictures and text to show you how to do it and what it should look like.
It works and is easy to use. What more can I say?
