Book Reviews of Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques

Book Review: Not for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not a book for beginners. This is a book for people who have some chops, but who want a reference manual.

Ignore everybody who complains about the photos: they will never produce meal after meal. They are too busy complaining.

This is a master-work.

Summary of Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques

The fully illustrated bible of cooking techniques from the world's best-known French cook is now in paperback and in one volume for the first time ever.

From a master chef and the current co-star (with Julia Child) of the hit television series "Cooking at Home" comes everything the home cook needs to perfect his or her kitchen skills--assisted by instructive, step-by-step photography. Learn to de-bone a chicken, poach an egg, whisk a perfect bearnaise, knead a tangy sourdough, or bake an exquisite meringue with the perfection and efficiency of a professional chef. Pépin's toothsome and time-tested recipes offer budding chefs the opportunity to put lessons into practice with extraordinary results. This comprehensive, authoritative presentation of cooking technique and practice is sure to become an indispensable part of every home cook's library.
