Every cook needs this ultimate quick reference to todays ingredients, terms, tools, and techniques. Its thoroughly modern, in a handy format with ribbon markers and a wipe-down, splash-proof cover, and caters to a new and highly motivated market interested in celebrity chefs and the popular Food Network shows. But its the information inside thats truly amazing: nearly 500 pages of instructions cover everything from sautéing a potato and filleting a fish to storing fresh herbs and selecting the right panand it goes A to Z through meats, poultry, fruits, vegetables, spices, and more. Theres lots of advice on ethnic cooking, too.
