Great book for the experienced as well as the beginning cook

This is a really helpful cookbook which describes cooking implements as well as ingredients both for common and global kitchens. I think it is a must-have for the beginning cook as well as for a more experienced person in the kitchen. The photos are spectacular! A piece of cookware is explained, alternatives are given and then several recipes are included for each. Tips for use are included as well. There are also explanations for ingredients used in cooking around the globe too. This would make a great shower gift for the bride to be as well as a wonderful gift for the cook or want-to-be cook in your life. Get one for yourself while you are at it. You won't regret it!

Things Cooks Love

This was an anniversary gift for our son & daughter-in-law who are "foodies" like we are. After perusing the copy we purchased for ourselves, we got one for them and they love it too!

Great book - recommend for all budding cooks

Great book.. I recommend for all budding cooks. If you are a gadget person, this book will point you in the right direction.

So much more than Pretty Pictures..

I really enjoyed this book. It was so much more than pretty pictures like most of the cookbooks today. It was informative and helpful. It made me want to get out some of my more esoteric pieces of cookware (like the cataplana and my Pomme Anna Pan)that I haven't touched in years and redisover them. Sur La Table is one of my favorite places to go to in Seattle and the book captured that wonderful feeling of visiting the store. It would make a very special gift for a cook in your life.
