Book Reviews of The Elements of Cooking: Translating the Chef's Craft for Every Kitchen

Book Review: No TOC, no index... what use?
Summary: 2 Stars

Lacks table of contents (WHERE is the book going? Where may I turn first?) AND lacks an index (where can I find information about X?).

Conclusion: only for those who love reading about cooking... browsing... and otherwise appears foolishly unconventional as a non-fiction book.

I know that sounds harsh. It was just such a disappointment.
