101 Things I Learned in Culinary School

57 Comments

** This giveaway has ended. Thanks for entering! The winners are comments 19, 41, and 56! **

I recently had the chance to get a copy of 101 Things I Learned in Culinary School thanks to the Hachette Book Group and The Product Review Place.

Details …Louis Eguaras, a renowned chef at the Le Cordon Bleu Program at the California School of Culinary Arts, provides readers with a terrific overview of what is truly involved in the preparation, cooking, and presentation of meals. He also provides invaluable insights into just what is involved in making this one’s chosen profession.

The book will feature a wide range of illustrated lessons, from how to properly hold a knife… to the history of food… from food preparation and presentation… to restaurant hospitality and management, and much more.

The book will be presented in the distinctive and highly-attractive packaged style of 101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL, and will be the perfect gift for anyone who is thinking about entering culinary school, is already enrolled, or even just the casual chef.

My thoughts …
I picked this book from the “101 Things I Learned” series since my husband loves to cook. Culinary School is one of his wish-list, would-love-to-do adventures.
I was pleasantly surprised at how simple the book was though. It was actually easy enough for non-fancy cooking me to understand and learn something! So if you are like me and at the basic level in the kitchen or my husband who can whip a fancy dinner out of nothing, you will find something new in this book!

 

NOTE: I was sent a copy of this book in support this review. No other compensation was received. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

  29. My favorite thing to cook is bbq'd shrimp. It is quick, appropriate any time of year and company always thinks I put out a lot of effort! Before anyone arrives I check to see if there are any food allergies & fortunately I've been 100% ok with the rave reviews. Also, this only requires a salad and rice.

    My favorite dish to cook is actually a ham and egg breakfast casserol. It is very easy and very good. I make this for work breakfasts and warm it up in the microwave. We also eat this for supper- it is one of my husbands favorite things that I make because I'm pretty cooking challenged! haha

  55. Breaded deep fried chicken breasts stuffed with ham and provolone. It's my favorite because I make the breadcrumbs/bread from scratch and it's the crispiest chicken ever!

  57. my favorite dish is leg of lamb. the taste of lamb is just different from every other meat, it is so juicy and my whole family just perks up everytime they hear the words leg of lamb, lol thanks =)
