Review: The Best Damn Cookbook I've Ever Owned - I've been cooking for a long time--it's my hobby and how I unwind. It's also the reason I need to diet constantly. That said, I thought my technique, spicing, presentation and meal combinations were mostly really good. A lot of them are, however, there have always been things I've seen in high-end cooking magazines or been served in restaurants and I have to ask myself, "How the heck did they do that?" Then there's the whole issue of stocks, meat, fish, shellfish and vegetable selections, as well as exotic fruits and how to prepare them that you find piecemeal in lots of books and when you need that information you have to see if you can remember which book it's in. Well, Le Cordon Bleu's Complete Cooking Techniques solves all that. In one thoughtfully arranged book, loaded with color photos and descriptions of how to do all the essential techniques and create interesting, appealing meals. In the three weeks I've had it, I've learned more than in months and years of slogging around to figure it out on my own. I've been in my kitchen more than anywhere else since it arrived and just love working with it. The most difficult thing about the book is not selecting too many recipes at once and overloading yourself, the refrigerator, and storage space in your kitchen. In fairness, I've got to say I've had some surprisingly successful results and I've also got to admit some dramatic, not-so-tasty outcomes as well. When I look back on the latter outcomes I go back to the book and sure enough can figure out what I missed, did wrong, out of sequence and so on. If you're a serious cook you know that cooking can be a humbling experience at times. This book will certainly lessen the frequency of those experiences. Every essential technique is here as are tons of sidebar tips you'd never think of. Really, it's wonderful. Yes, it's a large book, yes it's a bit pricey and it's really fair to say the value is packed from cover to cover. If you're a new cook, this is a wonderful book to start and stay with. You won't really need another book for a long time. If you master or simply become decent at what's presented here you'll quickly outperform your friends in the kitchen. If you've been cooking a long time this book will for sure have things you didn't know or could have done differently in a shorter amount of time. And for the long time cook, it won't be long before you start to integrate multiple techniques and ideas from all over the book into some amazing dishes. I cannot say enough about this book, so I'll just say if you don't have a copy it's like driving a car with two flat tires. Review: I don't know who couldn't use this - Having been cooking for most of my adult life, and some of my childhood as well, I am well versed in many of the finer points of cooking and I totally found this to be one of the most amazing books I have come across. There is no lack of information about what this book covers and everything is very clear and right to the point. The pictures are very detailed and comprehensive. This book covers so many diffrent areas that I find it hard to believe that unless someone has been to culinary school, that there isn't something new they could learn from this book. If your just starting to take intrest in the culinary arts, this is a great place to start. If you are a veteran, its still a great book to pick up incase someone needs explaining that you can't do.

Well worth the purchase ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I finally found the most amazing cookbook, with photos and techniques *by J***S on December 16, 2009* I am beyond thrilled with this book. I started cooking shortly after I got married (had tons of new Le Crueset pots that needed to be used). I have purchased 5 or 10 cookbooks and I wish that i had started with this one instead. You will not need another! My only complaint (and it is small) is that the descriptions do not always match up with the photos in the first section of the book. This was particularly apparent in the discussion about knives (there are so many, I wish their were photo references for each one). Overall - excellent. An incredibly useful book. And I have made both the English custard and the Coq Au Vin - both were phenomenal! ## Frequently Bought Together - Le Cordon Bleu Complete Cooking Techniques: The Indispensable Reference Demonstrates Over 700 Illustrated Techniques with 2,000 Photos and 200 Recipes - Le Cordon Bleu Dessert Techniques: More Than 1,000 Photographs Illustrating 300 Preparation And Cooking Techniques For Making Tarts, Pi - Le Cordon Bleu: Classic French Cookbook: The Centenary Collection, 100 World-Renowned Recipes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4665283-le-cordon-bleu-complete-cooking-techniques-the-indispensable-reference-demonstrates](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4665283-le-cordon-bleu-complete-cooking-techniques-the-indispensable-reference-demonstrates) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
