Overview
Jacques Pépin is universally hailed by professional chefs and home cooks as the grand master of cooking skills and methods. His classic seminal work, Jacques Pépin's Complete Techniques, is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a staple in both home and professional kitchens around the world.
Comprehensive, authoritative, but never intimidating, Jacques Pepin’s Complete Techniques—which combines the master chef’s landmark works, La Methode and La Technique—includes more than 600 cooking techniques and methods along with 160 recipes. Each recipe and technique is explained using step-by-step instructions accompanied by photographs featuring Pépin himself. Follow along as this culinary legend demonstrates every aspect of classic cooking, from start to finish, teaching readers how to bone a chicken, poach an egg, whisk a perfect hollandaise, knead a crispy baguette, or bake an exquisite meringue with the perfection and efficiency of a professional. Throughout the book are Pepin’s classic recipes, which offer budding masters the opportunity to put lessons into practice with extraordinary results.
The time-tested recipes in this volume teach everyone, from the greenest home cook to the most wizened professional, how to put techniques into practice. This completely revised edition includes thousands of color and black-and-white photographs and is redesigned to make it even easier to follow the step-by-step techniques.
