Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I finally found the most amazing cookbook, with photos and techniques
I am beyond thrilled with this book. I started cooking shortly after I got married (had tons of new Le Crueset pots that needed to be used). I have purchased 5 or 10 cookbooks and I wish that i had started with this one instead. You will not need another!

My only complaint (and it is small) is that the descriptions do not always match up with the photos in the first section of the book. This was particularly apparent in the discussion about knives (there are so many, I wish their were photo references for each one).

Overall - excellent. An incredibly useful book. And I have made both the English custard and the Coq Au Vin - both were phenomenal!





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - All the essential
I found this book exteremly useful. The techniques are excellent and instructions are straight forward. My vegitables are now done right. Love the book.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not for begginers nor for experts
I have a love-hate relationship with this book. I think it is good that I have it but I really only started understanding it after taking serious cooking classes in a local technical institute. The book does not really tell you enough to learn from scratch but it does go breezely through the fundamentals. All in all, it is relatively comprehensive and it does give you ideas to become a better cook, but it does not hold on its own as a main cooking reference.

One thing I like from the book is the emphasis they make on dish presentation. I always consult it whan I am trying to figure out how to serve something.

In summary, I think Cordon Bleu can really get down to finish this as it can be a great product but they need to make it more explanatory and comprehensive.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent book!
This book is just amazing. Great help for those who want to master or learn the basic cooking techniques.
