Book Review: A Complete Illustrated Guide on Cooking Techniques - A Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
With more than 150 recipes, more than 1100 photographs, and about 250 different cooking techniques explained in detail, this book is the most impressive practical guide I have ever read.
Each technique is explained in detail, emphasizing on how it affects the flavor of the finished dish. knowing how to use a technique implies efficiency, but knowing why you have to choose one technique over another one to prepare a dish implies mastership.
The book has a practical approach, with cross-reference through the text to related topics and techniques. Here I found not only recipes and techniques, but also an extensive glossary of term that I have used many times.
This book will change the way you look at cooking forever.
