Cooks and chefs developing a serious library of refernce books...buy this one. Historic and contemporary applications of methods and techniques are included. Photos capture specific issues very well.

I was hoping for detailed knifework photos and more advanced tips and tricks. I don't really need pretty photos of ingredients and finished dishes. Also, not as comprehensive as it could have been... maybe choosing a single cuisine would help, instead of the broad multiculturalism shown here. More of a coffee table book than a highly practical guide to culinary techniques.

Indispensable? Absolutely,

I absolutely love this book. Rather than giving a list of recipes, it tells you hundreds of techniques with which to create for yourself. Perfect for the budding chef or gourmand. It also has hundreds of illustrations of everything from food identification to hand motion. A great addition to any collection.
