I loved reading this cookbook: the chapter introductions and the headnotes just bubble over with the authors' love for cooking and for their restaurant. There is so much to love here, especially a wonderful pasta chapter with all sorts of excellent tips. They provide not only thorough instructions on pasta-making but also why dried pasta is superior in some dishes--and they provide recipes and very specific pasta types to prove it. For risotto and polenta as well, they provide excellent instructions, technique, and helpful suggestions for variations. The Stock chapter provides recipes for 7 types of stock, with full descriptions of technique and equipment needed--none of this "recipe must fit onto one page" nonsense. This is, in fact, true of every chapter--thanks to the authors for arguing with their editors to give us the step-by-step techniques for which we cooks long! If we're going to go to the trouble and expense to make Duck Stock, we want to do it right, and we are most grateful for 2 1/2 pages of precise instructions! There are plenty of tips throughout--for example, where to find duck bones. The Sauce chapter is wonderful, with modern updates on the classics. For me, the book passed the "Post-It" test, meaning that I stuck a bunch of virtual Post-Its on pages of recipes that I'm dying to try. The Kindle format was okay but not great (probably due to its 1997 copyright). For example, the TOC is clickable, chapter TOC's are clickable to recipes, but there are many embedded recipes throughout that are not clickable. However, this isn't a big deal because they are Capitalized to Give Us a Clue; however, you'll have to guess as to which chapter in which to find them. For example, Celery Root Slaw is in Salads. Looking for Roasted Garlic Tartar Sauce? Good guess! It's in Sauces. Marjoram Pesto? I still can't find it. My Kindle version did not have an index. B&W photos are few and far between: perhaps 15 in the whole book, primarily for chapter headings and a handful for technique. My primary criticism regards the accessibility of ingredients. Peel and Silverton (except for a brief Manhattan stint--and every ingredient is readily available in NYC)--are California chefs: they probably have no clue how hard it would be for those of us not on the West Coast to find fresh figs or fresh porcini mushrooms. I found their headnote about chanterelle mushrooms amusing: "should be available late August through mid-December." Ummm....okay, in a few weeks I'll strap into my snowshoes and go foraging for chanterelles :). To their credit, the authors sometimes make substitution suggestions or tell us when frozen (veal bones) will work in lieu of fresh; however, I don't know whether I can use frozen duck, sweetbreads, oxtails, or crab instead of fresh; how to find fresh grape leaves, and there's no "Sources" or "Ingredients" chapter to help me out. So, I wouldn't recommend this for a novice or someone seriously counting their ingredient pennies. Still, I loved it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome revipex *by Z***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2017* While I have made only a couple recipes from this book, they were awesome.
