Think Like a Chef and Eat Like a King!

A wonderful gift for any ambitious beginner cook, with the best instructions for techniques like roasting or sauce-making that I have ever seen. Mr. Colicchio seems to have made a conscious effort not to include hard-to-find ingredients, and, for the most part, also omits costly ones (except for things like lobster and some wild mushrooms) - a good move for a basic book. Most of the recipes are homey but yet sophisticated in a bistro kind of way. Who wouldn't love Polenta Gratin with Mushroom "Bolognese"? Yum. I will buy this as a holiday gift for my husband and then wait for him to give me the gift of meals cooked from it! I suggest you do the same.

a wonderful resouce for veterans and novices

I bought this books three days ago and was unable to put it down...I work at a cooking school and this book is in essesce what we teach to our students every time we get up to teach a class. I would reccomend this book to students and teachers alike.I reaaly liked the concepts and techniques he has chosen to highlight and he also includes some very special recipes.I know you will love this book and it offers much more than the ordinary cookbook.

ESSENTIAL FOR THE SERIOUS HOME COOK

Few cookbooks help you to understand how to achieve real excellence; this one does. Colicchio has a profound understanding of the importance of primary materials, and he always knows how best to treat them. His short rib with pickled hot peppers is sheer genius. His maxim "what grows together, goes together" has led him to novel combinations that become perfectly natural as soon as you try them. This is not a cookbook for beginners, or for people who want step-by-step simplicity. It is a book for people who think--for those who appreciate refinement, restraint, and purity of flavor.
