Additional Details

Description: The first English-language cookbook from the world-famous Parisian school of cuisine, Le Cordon Bleu, gives cooks everywhere the opportunity to benefit from the years of experience that have made Le Cordon Bleu the place to learn French cooking. Over 300 recipes are presented in a series of easy-to-follow menus that correspond to classes at the school, progressing in stages from simple basics to the advanced techniques used by professional chefs. 

The book starts with recipes that teach the basic cooking techniques of roasting, poaching, frying, sauteing, braising and stewing. Helpful information includes advice about the most appropriate cuts of meat for particular dishes, any special equipment that is needed and shows you how preliminary preparation can save both time and effort. 

After the basics, you will learn how to perfect your skills as the recipes take you through pastry making, pates, souffles and consommes. The third stage, professional touches, emphasizes the creative aspect of cooking, with tips from the experts presented in a series of stunning menus that stimulate the imagination as well as the appetite. 

Beautiful colour photographs illustrate finished dishes and special serving ideas. A special step-by-step section also explains in photographs how to master useful techniques -- from boning fish to piping meringue -- making this an excellent and enjoyable reference source for all lovers of good food.
