Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It's high time some enterprising writer came up with the idea of producing a guide for cooks to the great variety of implements and equipment now generally available. Christine McFadden has had the idea; and Tools for Cooks, a lavishly illustrated handbook, is the result. There are two areas in which help may be needed: knowing which tools are actually going to be the most useful; and, once that's been established, deciding on which make to buy. It's worth saying at the outset that as far as the latter category is concerned Tools for Cooks tends to opt for the top end of the market; not least because by and large, a few exceptions such as bamboo steamers aside, expensive, heavy stainless steel pans and utensils tend to take sexier photographs. And of course in most cases they really are the best (unfortunately for our wallets). Cheapskate grousing aside, this book represents a valuable idea, well-nigh flawlessly carried out. Tools are divided into functional categories, such as "Cutting, Peeling, Piercing", "Grinding, Grating and Crushing", "Frying and Grilling" and so on. Within each, the best-of-breed are illustrated and discussed, pros and cons impartially totted up. This is a book to be trusted. With the arguable exception of the tortilla press, there are no gadgets likely to elicit cries of "What on earth did you buy that for?" --Robin Davidson

This review is from: Tools for Cooks (Hardcover)
Excellent book for deciding what that piece of equipment, hiding in your kitchen cupboard or drawer is used for. Nicely laid out and the recipes are a bonus.
