Synopsis

From the Back Cover: "La Méthode is an indispensible book for any cook. Like its highly successful companion volume, La Technique, it is an outstanding practical guide to the fundamental skills which are the basis of all good cooking. Jacques Pépin gives a step-by-step demonstration of more than 140 techniques for preparing, cooking and presenting all types of food, and every separate stage of each procedure is illustrated with an explanatory photograph and precise written instructions. There are recipes to demonstrate the techniques at work and the book is packed with helpful tips for avoiding and overcoming problems. Jacques Pépin is a first-class teacher and this invaluable reference book is a must for novice and experienced cooks alike." 'Jacques Pépin has both the professional chef's approach and the amateur's enthusiasm - what better combination for a teacher of cooks' Prue Leith 'There is no substitute for seeing the essential techniques demonstrated and this book is like having a top class cookery lesson in your own home ... the perfect companion to La Technique.' Katie Stewart 'an inspiration, a challenge and once again brilliant pictorial demonstration of a multitude of culinary conjuring tricks. It is hard to say which will give the reader greater pleasure: the epicurean dreams evoked by merely looking at the text and pictures of the sense of achievement from actually managing to create some of the tours de force shown here in our own kitchens.' Susan Campbell
