Book Reviews of La Varenne Pratique

Book Review: A feast for the eyes and the culinary heart.
Summary: 5 Stars

Beautifully photographed, this book presents the finer aspects of cooking. Detailed descriptions of every concievable ingredient (vegetables, meats, herbs, spices, etc.) and cooking techniques to bring the most out those ingredients are presented in the book. Ann Willan is clearly an experienced practitioner and she writes with much clarity and conciseness. My most referred-to cookbook - not so much for the recipes as for the cooking techniques.
