A very good resource for the home cook, some content is covered in other books and at times the writing feels cut and paste, but it's valuable info that bears repeating. The format of providing images to explain text is at times inconsistent, and wish that more photos were used for more recipes.

Good book. Covers all major techniques including the main one - 'Think' before you cook, plan visualize etc., not just blindly follow recipes. Good mix of recipes to illustrate each major cooking technique, worth reading cover to cover. Examine the recipes in greater detail to get a sense of ratios, temperatures, timings - also good techniques.

Best cookbook for the good home cook who wants to elevate their technique. Mine never leaves the kitchen counter and has the battle scars to prove it.
