Product Description
The fully illustrated bible of cooking techniques from the world's best-known French cook is now in paperback and in one volume for the first time ever. From a master chef and the current co-star (with Julia Child) of the hit television series "Cooking at Home," comes everything the home cook needs to perfect his or her kitchen skills-assisted by instructive, step-by-step photography. Learn to de-bone a chicken, poach an egg, whisk a perfect bearnaise, knead a tangy sourdough, or bake an exquisite meringue with the perfection and efficiency of a professional chef. Pepin's toothsome and time-tested recipes offer budding chefs the opportunity to put lessons into practice with extraordinary results. This comprehensive, authoritative presentation of cooking technique and practice is sure to become an indispensable part of every home cook's library.

 this is a "how to" not "what to" September 1, 2009
P. Bolton (ct usa)
the other reviews cover what is in the book quite well
one way to describe the approach of this book is by analogy to building a house:
this book would tell you how to cut, hammer, sheet rock and all that but not how to design or decorate the house..... this doesn't get into flavors, seasoning and menus but it is great on how to prepare that fish or chicken or whatever, the instructions are clear and reliable
 Culinary school in a book July 29, 2009
Knoxville artist
The only reason I am giving a 4 star rating is because all the pictures are black and white. This book is Great. This book is the bible to French cooking. It is very easy to read and follow. I wonder how many thousands of dollars it would cost in culinary school, to learn the techniques in this book. You will not be disappointed with this book.
Indispensable June 28, 2009

It may be from the 70's, but this book is a timeless and indispensable information reference for any serious cook; professional or not. Now, if it would teach me how to mince garlic as fast and perfectly as he does.... RMS
Chef Lessons from the Master June 18, 2009
Avid reader (USA)
Pepin is a master as evidenced in his Techniques book. His book, with photos, guides one to learning classic cuisine techniques for a cooking foundation. Today it is very valuable to have a resource like this.
Great book, wrong ad June 3, 2009
G. Dunn (Ohio, USA)
This is a very good book, I recommend it for everyone who
is looking to increase their culinary knowledge, however chef Pepin
is not the best-known french cook, I believe that title would belong to
Auguste Escoffier, at least among professional cooks.
