Review: I was not quite sure what to expect when I ordered this; however, after getting it and looking through it, I am exceedingly happy that I took the chance. What I enjoy most about this book is that it is a no-frills straight-to-the-point tome about French cuisine. You'll find no glossy pages of photographed food. This is for those who are serious about technique and wanting to expand on their repertoire of French cuisine. In other words, if you require pictorial instructions to make a buerre manier, then Escoffier: Le Guide Culinaire likely is not for you....yet! That said, do not be daunted by the thought of 588 pages of technical recipes as this book is accessible to any willing, self-guided, motivated, and/or self-taught or home cook.
Review: Well researched and written so useful to keep to refer for classic French cookery

If you came to check if this book is good, you probably don't know Escoffier, which is sadly and utterly disappointing I must add. If you are thinking "what? I know Escoffier", then just stop reading and buy it, it is Escoffier, what else you need? So here you are, still didn't buy it, despite of my profound disappointment I am going to indulge yourself with some information about the book: First, this is the bible of gastronomy. I know you might be thinking "wow, an overstatement", believe me, that is not the case. Escoffier published Le Guide Culinaire, which is still used as a major reference by chefs in the whole world. If you go to any respectful restaurant today, the simple way they work is based on what Escoffier documented. He simple documented the basic of modern culinary, mother sauces, classic recipes, soups, garnishes, hors d'oeuvres, fish, meats, poultry, and desserts. The Bible. Second, don't expect photos, drawings or overly detailed recipes, this is not Jammie Oliver, he wrote the guide in 1903, so if you are looking for a recipe book, this is not the one, this is a book to have if you really want to study and understand the classics. Third, this is arguably the only book that allows you to go around telling your friends "that is not the way you do that" while they are cooking, and that my dear friend, can't be priced. Buy the book!
