The "concise, informative, indispensable" work by the grand master of cooking skills and methods -- now completely revised and updated (Anthony Bourdain).

For decades, Jacques Pépin has set the standard for culinary greatness and mastery of French cuisine -- ever since his seminal works on kitchen how-tos, La Méthode and La Technique, hit the shelves in the seventies. Now Pépin revisits the works that made him a household name in a completely revised and updated edition of his classic book.

Filled with thousands of photographs demonstrating techniques; new advice and tips; and hundreds of recipes ranging from simple to sublime, this is the must-have manual for any kitchen aficionado. Pépin offers step-by-step instructions on every aspect of cooking, including:


• learning basics, such as how to use knives correctly and how to cut a flawless julienne;

• conquering classic recipes, such as crêpes suzette and hollandaise sauce;

• creating whimsical and elegant decorations, such as olive rabbits and tomato flowers;

• tackling inventive ways of becoming a culinary superstar, such as turning an old refrigerator into a makeshift smoker;

• and much more.

No matter the recipe or skill, Pépin has time-tested instructions on how to do it like the pros -- and Jacques Pépin New Complete Techniques brings all of the master chef's secrets into one easy-to-use guide, guaranteed to please any palate, wow any guest, and turn any home cook into a gastronomic expert.
