A comprehensive cooking companion with essential techniques explained; whether you are a novice or an experienced cook wanting to perfect a skill, you will be able to find out how to do everything... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Cook's Companion's my favorite general cookbook. It shows all the basic techniques with step-by-step instructions and great photos. Easy to use and the recipes are delicious. Also, it includes variations for the basic recipes. Very comprehensive--previously published as The Ultimate Kitchen Course and Kitchen Encyclopedia. A very good deal. The only disadvantage's the binding: it got loose throughout the years. I'd also recommend the other cookbooks in this series published by Hermes House--small format, 500 pages, delicious recipes, and great price. I got 4 of them this Xmas: Thai & South-East Asian Cooking & Far Eastern Classics; The Spanish, Middle Eastern & African Cookbook; The Every Day Chinese Cookbook; and 400 Sauces. Happy cooking to you all! :)
