This review is from: Le Cordon Bleu at Home (Hardcover)

Le Cordon Bleu at Home is an exciting book. It demonstrates classic French cooking techniques and menus accompanied by beautiful photography!! It is a step by step book arranged in lessons/chapters to be followed at your own pace. While not every menu item may be to your liking, there is enough variety that you can progress through this book to add to your culinary skills and interests. Learning the basics of classic French cooking is both interesting, entertaining and beneficial. This is a great book to learn and experiment with, for anyone who has a passion for food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cooking as an art, Nov 16 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Le Cordon Bleu at Home (Hardcover)

The basics of the french cooking. Most of the internationally known french dishes are here. The recipes don't call for lemon cake in a box or frozen puff pastry, ...everything has to be done from scratch, even ice cream. The recipes and the instructions are clear and the results are amazing. I highly recommend this book to people who love cooking. The recipes are organized in very well balanced menus in three chapters according to the level, from basic to professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outrageously excellent!, Aug 1 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Le Cordon Bleu at Home (Hardcover)

I had worked through three lessons and invited friends for the Lesson # 4. They liked the idea so much that my friend's husband bought her the book and we teamed up with a plan to work through all 90 lessons, alternating as hostesses and dividing up the dishes. We invite a couple of friends to act as 'guinea pigs.' We request guest comments and autographs on the menu page. We are now on Lesson # 10. The guests we had for the ninth lesson want to join us in the culinary fun also. So, this order is for yet another copy of the book. Alternating three hostesses, we may finish the next 80 lessons sometime in the coming decade! I recommend the book to anyone who loves to cook. It is NOT a low-calorie cookbook. (Some menus use cream in two or even three dishes.) It is an delicious way to master the classic recipes and techniques and makes a fun Gourmet Club when done with friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile addition to any cookbook library
While I would advise that The Way to Cook is a better learn-to-cook-from-a-book option, this book does offer a good introduction to French cooking techniques. Read more
