Its hundreds of illustrated techniques are invaluable kitchen aids, as are the many integral recipes. Cooks interested in ethnic cuisines, readers of chef inspired, ingredient-led, or occasion-oriented cookbooks, as well as devotees of simple home cooking will turn to this book again and again and wonder how they ever cooked without it.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - All the essentialI found this book exteremly useful. The techniques are excellent and instructions are straight forward. My vegitables are now done right. Love the book. Rating:  - Not for begginers nor for expertsI 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: - Excellent book!This book is just amazing. Great help for those who want to master or learn the basic cooking techniques. Rating: - If you like to eat, but have no idea where to start preparing or buying food, this is a great start!This is a great aid in really understanding how to do almost anything basic in the kitchen - from picking produce at precisely the right time to making cheese in your own home. This is not a cookbook - although some basic recipes are covered for the purpose of instruction. I got this book and read it cover to cover in one sitting - I discovered I had been doing some things incorrectly or inefficiently, I drooled over the pictures of perfect produce, and really took in every bit of information it provided. The pictures are great and so helpful and the book serves as a great reference for how to do stuff you were never taught how to do. For example, my mother who makes tasty comfort food, has never purchased fresh chicken or beef from the butcher - I grew up on frozen proteins purchased in bulk, so I never knew what to look for or what to ask for if I wanted to buy from the butcher's counter - I was too intimidated and therefore continued my mother's frozen bulk traditions. With this book as my guide, I am now more comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new. If the other Le Cordon Bleu's books are anything like this, I'm investing in the whole set. :)
