On Cooking: A Textbook of Culinary Fundamentals : Labensky, Sarah, Hause, Alan, Martel, Priscilla: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: I'm a good cook enrolled in a baking boot camp in California and this is the text that the school required for culinary classes. I have a collection of other cooking school books but having had a look at On Cooking, I will be retiring the others. Yes, it is expensive, but having started to cook through it, is is absolutely worth it. On Cooking is accurate, VERY well organized, smartly illustrated, thoughtfully researched, carefully presented and the recipes are really good. It's not faddish, but it is current , it is extremely practical but not dull. Bonus points for sensitively covering special diets in a very encouraging way. Like everyone else who cooks I have far too many books but this one is staying in easy reach. The only downsides are 1) it's heavy, almost 1200 pp and 2) the pages are glossy and a bit reflective for the places where I am studying. The plusses to this are 1) it's 1200 pp of truly excellent information, very well bound, and 2) the pages are less absorbent if they do end up in the kitchen. Extra plus bonus points - my young adult kids have caught my excitement and are signing up for classes that will require this book so I expect we will eat tremendously well this year. Wish me luck on my exam tomorrow! Review: Muy buen libro de gastronomía.

My son had to have this for his culinary class. I WILL be buying my own copy, there are amazing recipes in here and a lot of interesting descriptions. Amazon's price was $45 less than the college bookstore. Awesome!
