Impressive books for chefs,
This book has been very carefully produced. The recipes are written with much detail, clear hints, and color coded information. The photographs are wonderful. One gets a very good idea of how the prepared dish will look. This book is aimed at chefs and those learning to cook in culinary schools. However, anyone with an interest in delicious flavors and easy to follow recipes will enjoy having this book ready to browse in the kitchen. The historical paragraphs and maps give just enough information about the origins of many of the cooking styles.
