Summary: Get this book if you want to become a chef
Comment: This is a great starter book if you are planning on going to school to become a chef. Many schools use this book as a core study guide. The picture's are great, as well as the explanations. It is not supposed to be a recipe book but it has 750 recipes. Most "recipe" books only have about 160. my only complaint about this book is that there are no chapters on pickling and preserving (hence only 4 stars instead of 5). it may be a lost art, and much cheaper to just buy jam or pickles, but making them yourself could open up new flavors that you just can't buy at a store. beside's when you make pickles and jam yourself, it just tastes so much better. don't let that discourage you from picking up this book though. This is a great starting point for general cooking. once you know the basic's you can move on to more specialized books and topics.

Summary: On Cooking has become the first book I reach for these days.
Comment: I have found this book to be a great resourse for anyone who loves to cook. It answers any and all questions regarding techniques and fundementals of cooking. I am a student at the Culinary Arts Institute at Mississippi University for Women where Chef Labensky is on staff. I have had the opportunity to take a class with her and it was like having a chapter of her book come to life. This book not only relates techniques but tells the hows and whys of food. I feel this book is a wonderful addition to the library of anyone who loves to cook or who just loves food. Sarah, Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
