Great technique book, Nov 2 2002

Tom Colicchio explains cooking techniques especially well. His focus on preparing the same or similar set of ingredients using different techniques nicely illustrates the different outcomes using the different techniques. His story which is interspersed throughout the book is delightful to read and even though this isn't primarily a "recipe book", the recipes included are terrific and easy enough for a scattered cook like me to follow. Far superior to the average cookbook.
