"La Technique" by Jacques Pepin is a classic cookbook from 1976 that serves as a comprehensive guide to the fundamental techniques of cooking. The hardcover edition, with illustrations by the author himself, offers practical advice and insights for any cooking enthusiast. With a focus on general cooking principles and recipes, this cookbook is a valuable resource for those looking to enhance their culinary skills in the 1970s era.
This is the most explicit how to work in a kitchen book that even if you think your hot in cooking, you will not know even a 1/3 of the basics in preparing food. You may know how to throw together ingredients and they come out great, but you will never master the true prep and follow thru without the knowledge in this book. This is only for a cookbook collector that wants to know what they are not doing right in preparing. If you're looking for a receipt book this is not what you want.
Period.
Thanks.
