Jill Prescott's Ecole de Cuisine, 4 April 2002
By Rick Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jill Prescott's Ecole De Cuisine: Professional Cooking for the Home Chef (Hardcover)
I bought the book after watching Jill Prescott's PBS series. The recipes are just as good as the show. Everything is clear and well written. I have great success with all the recipes. I like her straightforward approach to the classics. This is one of my favorite books. She is a superb teacher both on TV and in her book!

Jill Prescott's Ecole de Cuisine, 17 Jan 2002
By Rick Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jill Prescott's Ecole De Cuisine: Professional Cooking for the Home Chef (Hardcover)
I watch Jill Prescott's PBS show in Manhattan. I purchased this book and found it to be one of the best recipes books ever. The chef explains recipes very well. The book has many important basic recipes in one compact book. I have thoroughly enjoyed the book and the show. I even hope to go to her Chicago cooking school. Everything I made turns out perfectly. I have made some impressive meals!

Excellent Course in French Cooking!, 16 Dec 2001
By Charlie White - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jill Prescott's Ecole De Cuisine: Professional Cooking for the Home Chef (Hardcover)
Finally, here's a cookbook that will teach you how to prepare dishes the way the world's greatest French chefs do without boring you to tears. Impress your friends and lovers with cooking secrets that are used in the finest restaurants in the world. And, there's no hot air with this writer, Jill Prescott, either. She's a personal friend of, protege/student of and heir-apparent to the great Julia Child, and her knowledge and expertise in the ancient art of French cuisine shows through in every page. You'll simply love Jill's self-confident and opinionated candor and wit, which comes across completely in this beautifully written and easy-to-follow book.
Best of all, the recipes actually work. You can also see exactly what the finished products will look like with the luscious and mouth-watering photography throughout the book.
It's obvious that this woman knows what she's talking about and is beholden to no one, especially the corporations that push fake foods like margarine, twinkies and canned chicken broth.
If you haven't seen her PBS series, "Jill Prescott's Ecole de Cuisine," don't miss it. The best parts are when she blasts poorly made commercial products like Jello, calls many low-brow American favorite foods "dog food" and openly mocks some junk food that she "wouldn't even feed to her dog," she says. This on-screen charisma translates directly into this book. She makes me laugh out loud when she writes such statements as "I'm not opinionated -- I'm right!" And you know what? She really is right.
I bought two more of these books for my cooking friends, and will probably pick up a few more! Highly recommended.
