May 17th, I have been reviewing two books that I received for my birthday and upcoming anniversary. The one I will be covering today is Jacques Pepin’s Complete Techniques. This book is a combined work of two previous books by the author, La Methode and La Technique. If you are just starting out in the kitchen as a serious home cook or culinary student I would suggest picking this volume up. It is packed with numerous pictures displaying step by step methods on breaking down a chicken, fish ECT… While there may be some recipes or methods that you will never employ having the knowledge is nice. The book is also filled with recipes employing the methods so you can cook along. While you can learn most of the methods by watching any of Jacques or Julia cooking shows or Food Network long enough, it is nice to have a handy reference guide if you need refreshing. I highly recommend it.
