Book Reviews of The Professional Chef
Book Review: A must read
Summary: 5 Stars
The is the ultimate resource for any understanding of real cooking. It's not really a cookbook as much as a complete guide to the science of cooking and food prep. Its been said that one could simply read this book and know more about cooking than many chefs.
I found the price on Amazon to be the best (lowest)I could find anywhere. And I mean anywhere I spend days searching the internet.
Book Review: A must read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the book to learn more about culinary arts and after beginning the book I couldn't put it down! I love food and this book explains the basics of how to cook; get different flavors and preparing foods correctly. Also offers extensive origins of what foods came from where! Great reference!
Book Review: All you need to know about proper cooking methods.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was my first text book in culinary school. It is a very informative and an easy guide for anybody that interested in professional and non-professional cooking. I often find myself going back to this book as a reference on certain recipes, cooking method, and information. With the exception of baking, you should use this book as a guide in cooking because professional cooks don't usually measure everything to the "T". I find the recipes in this book are quite accurate and quite happy with the results.
The only bad thing about this book is the weight, but it's worth all the knowledge. I am very satisfied with this book and fully recommend it. If anybody would like to own just 1 cookbook, this is the one.
