Escoffier : A Guide to Modern Cookery: complete edition Paperback – July 21, 2020

I cook sporadically, mostly French, German and Italian cuisine. No other book I have is so comprehensive on what is called "modern cuisine" than this book. It has its origin on the French cuisine but it is fair to say it is now international cuisine.Highly recommended for anyone interested in cooking skills development. I am home amateur chef.

This book offers nearly 3000 recipes and cooking techniques. Everything French. At the end, it offers a large number of menus, so when you are practiced and halfway through the book after 2 years, you are given tasks (Menus) to prepare. Why not? The ultimate numero uno primo nombre un cook book for French cooking. Magnificent!

Cooking is Nuturing and this book goes into detail of how to make food memorable .Timeless, standing the test of time instruction.I love this book and will spend hours practicing its contents.

French mother sauces? This is the book that "defines" them. Full of classic cooking techniques.It was an on-demand re-print but I'm stoked to have this.

Something feels off with how this was printed/how it reads. I know it’s a translation, but it’s pretty expensive for what you’re getting. All the recipes are classics, but some are OLD OLD and without consistent measures it can be challenging. Not a beginner cookbook for someone that doesn't know what it is.

This is the book I used when I served my apprentiship 35 years ago. It is a must have for anyone serious about a culinary career. It will teach the 5 base mother sauces and go from there. Master this cookbook, master the kitchen.

This book gives a cook or chef the value of historical origins to today’s culinary world.If you understand where recipes came from you can understand the path they will lead to.

Lovely approach to presentations of meals. Quite suitable if one is to host a dinner party.

Got for a friend son who is going to be a chef

Badly written beyond my comprehension. Badly printed, not worth the money at all. I returned the book on the same day I received it. I bought another of the book, so much better than this book. Don't waste your money

Always learning
