Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
From America’s favorite cooking teacher, multiple award-winner James Peterson, an invaluable reference handbook.
Culinary students everywhere rely on the comprehensive and authoritative cookbooks published by chef, instructor, and award-winning author Jim Peterson. And now, for the very first time, this guru-to-the-professionals turns his prodigious knowledge into a practical, chockablock, quick-reference, A-to-Z answer book for the rest of us.
Look elsewhere for how to bone skate or trim out a saddle of lamb, how to sauté sweetbreads or flambé dessert. Look here instead for how to zest a lemon, make the perfect hamburger, bread a chicken breast, make (truly hot) coffee in a French press, make magic with a Microplane. It’s all here: how to season a castiron pan, bake a perfect pie, keep shells from sticking to hardcooked eggs. How to carve a turkey, roast a chicken, and chop, slice, beat, broil, braise, or boil any ingredient you’re likely to encounter. Information on seasoning, saucing, and determining doneness (by internal temperatures, timings, touch, and sight) guarantee that you’ve eaten your last bland and overcooked meal.
Here are 500 invaluable techniques with nearly as many colour photographs, bundled into a handy, accessible format.

This is a fine reference work to many common issues that cooks face, as they prepare and plan meals. Having this on a shelf would be useful for odd cooking issues that may solve questions that you may be afraid to ask.

I like this book ! I think it's a very nice book to use when looking for "tips" or "tricks" on things you don't cook everyday (artichokes, asparagus) or even when you're teaching someone how to do different cooking things...

I found this boook mentioned in a magazine and looked it up here on Amazon. I read the reviews. I then went to the bookstore to take a closer look at it. It is as great as described before me, so I will not repeat what everyone as already said. I gave the books I ordered as gifts to 4 very young, new cooks (male and female)and they were thrilled. I've been cooking over 40 years and learned a thing or two myself. I highly recommend it.

Love this book. All I can say is every time my GF or I have a cooking question, we go to this book and the answer is there.

The Title of this book is so relevant. Really, what is a cook to do?
