 If you can't go to a Cordon Bleu school, this is a good book, 2003-11-04

There is more to cooking than mixing ingredients; the preparation of ingredients is vital to the result, as much as the choosing of the best raw materials.

Chef Pepin takes you by the hand in clear writing and describes the techniques of mincing mushrooms and removing excess liquid, poaching an egg (no, he does NOT use one of those little metal cups over boiling water) and how to braise meat properly.

This book is less about recipes and more about how to treat the food to get the best result. Pepin's descriptions are clear and this will improve your knowledge of cuisine in a way that ordinary cookbooks do not.
