Stephanie Alexander has had some outstanding success with previous cookbooks and she is an incredible cook in her own right.
However the benefit of this outstanding cookbook is the depth of technique that is taught in such detail, and with a comprehensive list of recipes that covers all aspects of preparing food, whether it be for appetisers, entree, main course, dessert and comfort food.
We have many cookbooks in our collection, but we really needed to have this part of our culinary library long before now.
The evidence of what a fine addition it has been is the enjoyable food that we have prepared that has developed our cooking and food knowledge. A very fine cookbook that is a must in any kitchen.

I am one of those cooks who likes to collect only the very best cookbooks- Larousse for France, Hazan for Italy, Fearnley-Whittingstall for meat, Casas for Spain, Kennedy for Mexico. And for Australia? Stephanie Alexander. It has wonderful information about the products and how to prepare them, with perfect easy recipes for beautiful classic immigrant cuisine (Gingerbread? Lemon slice? Minestrone with fresh borlotti beans and cavolo nero? Ceviche?) In the margins she has fantastic little inspirational notes for cooks who don't need measurements, such as "another beef salad: combine light soy sauce with fresh lime juice, fish sauce..." It is a big, heavy, gorgeous but durable book that you will love to see on your shelf almost as much as you love cooking with it. It is organised by ingredient, like Larousse, so you can say, "Hmmmm, I have a lot of potatoes. What can I make?" If you live in Australia, buy this book. It will give you everything your mum used to make. If you don't, buy it anyway- if your mother is Italian, Greek, Vietnamese, English, Chinese, Mexican, French...it might just have something she used to make too. But maybe even better.

If I were allowed only 1 cookbook in a lifetime, then this one is it!

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2010

I own the first edition as well as this one. Every recipe that I have used in this cookbook works! Perfect for seasonal cooking too, because it is organized according to ingredients. I am an intermediate level cook, but would happily give this to a beginner cook too. You can follow the recipes precisely, but it also encourages you to be your own cook - with suggestions of matching flavours and combinations. When friends ask which cookbook do I recommend, I automatically recommend this one. I own over 200 hundred cookbooks - and this is the ONE that is not allowed out of the kitchen.

I have had this book for many years and have relied on it over and over. Whenever I need a tricky cooking question answered, it is in this book! I recently bought a copy for each of my adult daughters who are thrilled to have it in their homes. It is without doubt, much more than the successful cooks companion - it is the successful cooks essential ingredient!!

This books was lent to me by a friend and I just loved it enough to want my own copy. I relate well to the style, I don't need to see a picture of each dish, I just need the recipe and I can relate to its taste and composition just as easily. well presented, I just love books and the size, shape and weight made me comfortable from the start. The recipes and descriptions provided in the book resonate - a treasure for my family. above all, the food the top quality. what more could you want

WHat an amazing book. Almost anything you can find in a supermarket is in here, with a list of all the other foods that can go with it.
If you love to try new things in the kitchen I would highly recommend this book.

The only cookbook you'll ever need

A truly fantastic book. It is structured by ingredients, which is really helpful if, like me, you are wondering what you can do with a familiar ingredient. It's also got a very helpful section on how to choose ingredients, how to store them etc

I had a copy of this book back in Australia and found it to be a fantastic book, to the point that when I moved here to London I felt like I couldn't live without it and had to order myself a new one. It's so easy to work through...if you have an ingredient all you have to do is go to that section eg. corn and then there would be a range of recepies for corn and so fourth.

Every cook or anyone who loves to cook needs to add this 'bible' to their collection.

As I was looking for the sources to get better knowledge base of cooking - I was reading a lot of review of different books. And this one resonated. Especially I would recommend it if you are from Down Under.
Structure might be a little confusing at the glance. But overall I'm pretty happy that I discovered it.

This book is so comprehensive - over 1000 pages - and has all the information a household cook would need. The only thing missing are photographs of the food. I am very happy to own it.
