Book Reviews of What's a Cook to Do?: An Illustrated Guide to 484 Essential Tips, Techniques, and Tricks
Book Review: Very nice book !
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this book ! I think it's a very nice book to use when looking for "tips" or "tricks" on things you don't cook everyday (artichokes, asparagus) or even when you're teaching someone how to do different cooking things...
Summary of What's a Cook to Do?: An Illustrated Guide to 484 Essential Tips, Techniques, and Tricks
From America's favorite cooking teacher, multiple award-winner James Peterson, an invaluable reference handbook.Culinary students everywhere rely on the comprehensive and authoritative cookbooks published by chef, instructor, and award-winning author Jim Peterson. And now, for the first time, this guru-to-the-professionals turns his prodigious knowledge into a practical, chockablock, quick-reference, A-to-Z answer book for the rest of us.
Look elsewhere for how to bone skate or trim out a saddle of lamb, how to saut? sweetbreads or flamb? dessert. Look here instead for how to zest a lemon, make the perfect hamburger, bread a chicken breast, make (truly hot) coffee in a French press, make magic with a Microplane. It's all here: how to season a castiron pan, bake a perfect pie, keep shells from sticking to hardcooked eggs. How to carve a turkey, roast a chicken, and chop, slice, beat, broil, braise, or boil any ingredient you're likely to encounter. Information on seasoning, saucing, and determining doneness (by internal temperatures, timings, touch, and sight) guarantee that you've eaten your last bland and overcooked meal.
Here are 500 invaluable techniques with nearly as many color photographs, bundled into a handy, accessible format.
