Before the age of celebrity food personalities like Martha and Rachael, there was Julia Child. She is the woman who started it all. She brought gourmet cooking into American homes and made it possible for home cooks to learn professional French cooking techniques. In "The Way to Cook", Julia shows you exactly how to really cook.
This essential cookbook shows you step-by-step exactly how to prepare classic dishes and how to execute techniques that will seriously boost your skills in the kitchen. Julia Child's "The Way to Cook" is not a recipe book as much as it is an instructional cooking book that can literally take you from a beginning cook to a budding chef as it walks you through simple steps that build to more expert techniques. Ina Garten even praises this book as she cooked her way through "The Way to Cook" cover to cover when she was first starting out.
Julia Child's now famous reference cookbook is a must-have for anyone who wants a go-to for any and all useful cooking techniques. Many consider it the single most important cookbook to own. That's because Julia Child is straightforward in her explanations, making each recipe extremely easy to follow. The sections of the book divide up as follows:
-Soups
-Breads
-Eggs
-Fin Fish & Shellfish
-Poultry
-Meat
-Vegetables
-Salads
-Pastry Doughs
-Desserts
-Cakes & Cookies
Julia's chapter on eggs is particularly informative as a good foundation in the cooking of eggs is infinitely helpful in boosting your general cooking ability.
