## Description

Institut Paul Bocuse Gastronomique : Institut Paul Bocuse: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: A genuine must have for any amateur or trainee chef, excellent collection - As a kid I remember my mother had a book from readers digest called the Cookery year, not only did it have recipes but also has descriptions of different cuts of meat and information about fish and veg as well as techniques and a lot of kitchen skills, I enjoyed looking through it, even though a few of the recipes are a little naff these days. I have been cooking for a while now and always end up in the same rut, I have cookbooks but they are all the same, to a degree. So it was time for a change, and a step up. Over the last few years I have been lucky enough to eat at a couple of michelin starred restaurants and although I am pretty certain I will never produce food to that level and absolutely positive that I will never produce anything that looks that good I wanted to learn. This is great, it has everything, all the stuff you hear on masterchef and wondered what it was, the techniques and instructions are exceptionally well written and east to follow. The book is well laid out, the text is clear and easy to read and the images sharp and clear. This is a big book, its chock full of information and it really does take it from a beginners level up to the recipes in the back of the book that wouldn't look out of place in the michelin starred restaurants I mentioned earlier. This is a must for anyone interested in cooking, I can see this becoming a much used and referenced volume for a lot of years to come.
Review: Amazing and absolutely packed with information - I’m a bit of a sucker for cookery books. I have a Larousse encyclopaedia which I treasure. It’s a joy to browse and I find something new every time I dip into it. Bocuse Gastronomique is similar, except I picked this version for an astonishing 99p. The hard copy is near £40 so this is a whopping bargain. I think if you enjoy food and cooking, even as just a home cook, you’ll find this book an inspiration. It’s some 720pp and it’s packed with techniques, step by step, with literally hundreds of easy to follow photos. Boning fish, preparing meat joints, breadmaking and more it’s a real cooks bible. I’ve downloaded to an iPad and it works really well in tablet format. It’s also clear and easy to use on an iPhone. I think it would be less appealing on a grey format Kindle. It’s very easy to dip into, with an extensive index, helpful hyperlinks and whether you want to prepare something simple for two or a banquet for dinner guests, you’ll find help here. There are numerous cookery terms and methodologies that I’m less familiar with so I’ve learned a lot just from dipping in. For novices or experienced cooks; a real joy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential reading for any serious amateur chef
*by L***G on 1 July 2019*

This is not a book, it is a lethal weapon. About the weight of a housebrick, and as lethal as a kitchen knife if dropped on your foot, this "book" is not something you really want to keep in your kitchen. It is far too beautiful for that, and you would not want to ruin the high quality glossy pages with raw ingredients. Written very much from the discipline of classic French cookery, this is not really a cookbook. While there are quite a few recipes, the majority of this volume focuses on technique. This is immediately clear as the opening chapter starts with the classic mother sauces and more besides. As you go through the book, you progress to more and more complex tasks, including filleting fish, jointing meat etc. through to laying a table and pouring wine. Visually, the photography and layout is stunning, and it is obvious the author is a passionate chef. The writing style is clear but authoritative, and inspires confidence in the reader. Tasks are graded with a difficulty rating which is a great touch for those on a learning curve. If you are after a book that teaches you everything you need to know in the kitchen, albeit from a French rather than an International perspective, look no further. You will treasure this book the more you use it.
