 Rating: - A "MUST HAVE" in every home...This book is very informative. Everyone should have this book in their kitchen. This book has useful information for any type of chef. If you're a novice chef, or if you're an expert chef, this book is for you. Definitely worth the purchase. I've even stocked one in my sister's bridal shower gift :) Rating: - Completely SatisfiedMy order arrived very fast and was in excellent condition. The product was brand new as stated in the description. I am really pleased with my purchase. Rating: - Gorgeous! Useful!I've been looking for this book for ages although I didn't know it until I found it! It tells you all the basic information about nearly every possible ingredient and some basic prep info on most--how to truss poultry, scale fish, serve duck, cut and steam fruits and veggies, etc.. Also included is info about herbs and spices, different salad greens, oils, vinegars. So complete! It makes cooking seem very simple and has enabled me to experiment with confidence. And it's *beautifully* presented in full color--someone else said it could be a coffee table book and that person is absolutely right. My friends have been known to start paging through it if I leave it out. The only thing that might improve it is if there were a few actual recipes to try out--those who are looking for recipes will be disappointed as what Kitchen Essentials offers are more guidelines than recipes. I'm hoping that Le Cordon Bleu has or will put out a regular cookbook that will complement this wonderful book. Rating:  - essentially....great!!This is a wonderful book for showing you how to do all the basic preparations that make cooking fun, delicious and successful. You can easily page back and forth to find the subjects that interest you. This is an essential reference book that is beautifully photographed, easy to follow, full of terrific information and covers a wide range of topics. Anyone who is striving to become a better cook, at home or professioonally will enjoy this book as a valuable asset.
