Buy At Least TwoApr 12, 2010
This is a stellar gift - for the newbie to the kitchen or the seasoned pro. I own two, keeping one in the kitchen and one on the nightstand (as I read cookbooks instead of watching television).

must have for foodiesSep 30, 2008
This is a must have book for food lovers. It is full of useful information. When I hear a term, I can come to this book and find out what it is before embarrassing myself.
A Cook's Best FriendMay 16, 2008
I found this book in the bookstore and thought it would help me with a new job as a cook. Well, it did more then that because it discribes nearly every type of term you could come up with when you cook.
I like how it discribes a particular food item and it's best usage. For example apple: Which are better for baking, eating, and cooking.
There are charts for every conversion possible and tables galor to help you prepare better meals.
I think reading this book has made my cooking at home better because it make me less scared that I might not get the correct taste by using the wrong foods. They even go gover you meat seltion and where they come from. This great for desiding what and how to prepare it.
The good thing about this comprehensive guide, is that there are no recipes with some minor exceptions; like a rux. This is good because it is a guide, not a cookbook.
Enjoy
