5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Technique Cookbook,
By Mrs. Beeton (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James Beard's Theory & Practice of Good Cooking (Hardcover)
When I recommend cookbooks to friends and students, this is the first one that comes to mind. It teaches techniques rather than dishes. Don't give a person a fish -- teach them how to fish. Or bake, roast, poach, braise, or saute. Out of print for years, Amazon is the best place to order it. I buy it for wedding presents and finally treated myself to a copy!
Next I'd go for Child/Bertholle/Beck Mastering the Art of French Cooking I and II, or for a cook who relates to photos, Julia Child's The Way To Cook. Another interesting book is Len Deighton's (spy thriller writer) paperback entitled Basic French Cooking, which is also out of print but I got through Amazon.

Best all-around book for aspiring cooks,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I love this book because it doesn't teach individual recipes but methods. If you know how to braise and what can and should be braised, you can do it. Most books, even cooking classes will teach you how to make one stew but don't teach the art of braising. Or sauteeing, or roasting...
While the book is out of print, Amazon has it and I regularly purchase one for wedding gifts or aspiring young cooks. [...]
