Escoffier: The Complete Guide to the Art of Modern Cookery, Revised

If you buy it. It's forever. No other books required

Excellent price and service

Great book. Fabulous recipes.

Excellent book

Don't expect a picture anywhere in this publication - This book is pure 100% recipe after recipe. If you want to know how to cook something you will definitely find it here.

Like other reviewers I'll point out that this is not a picture book with pretty pics of food (there's none...). Simply a curt list of ingredients and a short description of how to cook the item. This is the "bible" that the top chefs use today to put together the classic combinations. If you enjoy cooking, good at it and you have a stack of celeb chef books then I recommend this book. Don't buy it if it's your first cookbook...get a celeb picture book instead...Hestons "...at home" perhaps.

If one is really interested in knowing the correct terms and how to execute just about anything in a kitchen, this is the book one must have on the shelf. The pox on Amazon's requirement for a reviewer to have X amount of words before submitting!

Really good detail and you can see the passion for food behind the words, and the industry. Its as good as having someone next to you pointing you in the right direction. A must read for any chef.

Chegou antes do prazo. Ótimo livro, conteúdo repleto de receitas. Não é indicado para iniciantes. Não possui figuras, e o passo a passo para elaboração das produções é direto ao ponto. Também apresenta notas muito interessantes para elucidar ou sugerir outras possibilidades para elaborar as receitas - excelente!

Very useful book and fully translation

This cook book is for individuals trained in the this type of cooking techniques.If not pre trained the book will be useless.

If you came to check if this book is good, you probably don't know Escoffier, which is sadly and utterly disappointing I must add. If you are thinking "what? I know Escoffier", then just stop reading and buy it, it is Escoffier, what else you need?So here you are, still didn't buy it, despite of my profound disappointment I am going to indulge yourself with some information about the book:First, this is the bible of gastronomy. I know you might be thinking "wow, an overstatement", believe me, that is not the case. Escoffier published Le Guide Culinaire, which is still used as a major reference by chefs in the whole world. If you go to any respectful restaurant today, the simple way they work is based on what Escoffier documented. He simple documented the basic of modern culinary, mother sauces, classic recipes, soups, garnishes, hors d'oeuvres, fish, meats, poultry, and desserts. The Bible.Second, don't expect photos, drawings or overly detailed recipes, this is not Jammie Oliver, he wrote the guide in 1903, so if you are looking for a recipe book, this is not the one, this is a book to have if you really want to study and understand the classics.Third, this is arguably the only book that allows you to go around telling your friends "that is not the way you do that" while they are cooking, and that my dear friend, can't be priced.Buy the book!
