The atmosphere is inviting and it's great to watch the chefs preparing mouth-watering dishes in the open kitchen. It was a treat for me, as a cooking enthusiast, to visit this presitigous cooking school. After visiting the CIA, I found this book and knew I had to have it as a reference foundation for my cooking skills. I would recommend this book to anyone serious about learning the skills that professional chefs use every day. Please note that a kitchen scale is highly desirable when using the recipes.
Most recipes use weight measurements instead of volume.
Additionally, you will find that the recipes will need scaling down to feed average families, since they are designed for the professional restaurant chef. All Customer Reviews Avg. This is a great book for the person serious about food. My mother wanted me to learn how to cook. I had no interest, and often gave her the slip.
