Summary: The quintessential guide for all chefs
Review: This book has pretty much every recipe you will ever need. I tend to use to book only as a reference, though, as the recipes are a bit out of date. The recipes provide only the basic ingredients, so beginners may not find the book very useful. For advanced cooks, the Game and Fowl sections are particularly excellent. Also a good resource for French technique.

Summary: the chef`s bible
Review: this is a great book for every one and if you are a chef starting out it will help you out as much as the head chef of a fine resterant. this is the chef`s bible

Summary: Wow. Quite overwhelming
Review: This is a great encyclopedia, but it is a little thin on explanation. Many recipes require knowledge of other recipes in the book, causing you to flip frantically through 3 or more recipes just to make one dish. The index and table of contents could be better. All that said, the book has an amazing wealth of recipes, and is a must for the serious chef.

Summary: a chefs book not for hacks
Review: This is not a book for the typical home cook. It is basically a dictionary of classical dishes. The recipes are cryptic - there are no measurements to follow. It can be frustrating at times to put together a dish because the index is incomplete and most of the recipes refer to another recipe somewhere else in the book (which is then difficult to find). Does anyone really cook this way anymore any way? Tons of butter and cream - classical French. This book was used as the Text for a Classical Cuisine class at our Community College and 80% of the students sold it back to the bookstore once the semester ended.
