Review
—Ina Garten
“Larousse has a place of honor on every cookbook shelf in America.”
—Martha Stewart
“It is critical to have a sound understanding of traditional culinary principles before attempting to push boundaries in cuisine. Larousse Gastronomique helps me execute the progressive cooking we do at Alinea.”
—Grant Achatz
“The bible of cooking. The all-time argument ender. Early in my cooking career, I wielded my Larousse like a weapon and it never let me down.”
—Anthony Bourdain
“Larousse Gastronomique has always been the first and last word on classic European techniques and recipes. I love that it has expanded its reach to cover world cuisines and modern culinary innovations, making it more indispensable than ever.”
—Marcus Samuelsson
“The history of food has never had a better biographer. Required reading for anyone who eats.”
—Dan Barber
“Young chefs, famous chefs, home cooks, and everyone who loves food and cooking–we all depend on Larousse Gastronomique. It is the only culinary encyclopedia that is always up-to-date.”
—Daniel Boulud
“You can’t go into the chef’s office of any serious kitchen and not see a copy of Larousse. A must-have for professional and home cooks alike.”
—David Chang
“The Larousse is the first place I look when I need to clarify a cooking question. The greatest reference book, it is a fascinating read.”
—Jacques Pépin
“Larousse is an invaluable tool for any cook. I’ve used this great resource all throughout my cooking career, and of course I look forward to the new edition. New information and knowledge are always welcome.”
—Thomas Keller
“Larousse Gastronomique is a veritable dictionary of cooking terms for the French kitchen. If a chef were allowed only one book, this would have to be it.”
—Mario Batali

I personally may not be so prominent in the kitchen, but I have a fascination for table etiquette ... and there is a wonderful section which goes into great lengths on how a table should be set, pending on the event
There are oodles of 'cooking bibles' out there, some of which are very worthy classics ... but I do believe this one ... takes the cake!
ps before purchasing, I asked my french sister in law her opinion on this book. I was expecting the typical french 'pff waste of time' return comment, but she also highly recommeneded it.
However, I recently purchased this new edition as a gift. The recipient is happy, but I'm a bit disapointed. Though the new scheme makes distinguishing recipies a snap (red titles), the typeface is steril and the number and interest of photographs has declined substantially, largely consisting of full-page stock photo stuff.
Nevertheless, a great book, but one that has lost some of its beauty. I'm happy to own the 1988 edition!
