I just received and to fully devour "In the kitchen by Chef Simon" and this book that I looked forward for months, is well beyond my expectations!
This book is a bible of the kitchen that dissects the fundamental techniques essential in the kitchen every day, without ever lowering the simplification and extension so common nowadays in this area.
He advocates a return to simplicity, care and excellence that is just starting out, housewife overwhelmed and / or enthusiastic amateur!
Rather than offering us a nice photo of flat we'd barely able to reproduce through lack of practice, the author offers us step by step fully illustrated techniques, annotated advice and remarks related to 35 years of professional practice each day questioned on the ground and in education.
I knew the ChefSimon.com site I regularly visits and helps me every day in my kitchen, but I am delighted with this book that complements and that I can always have at hand to see me and take her everywhere with me.
Apart from the purely technical aspect, I also love this book by its atypical side, his bias clarity, its neat photos, illustrations and humor.
I also like the convenience of washable cover (seen heavy use I bring, that's a plus!) And integration of Flash code that can also take courses taught in video.
What is conceived well is expressed clearly! This applies in all fields and "In the kitchen by Chef Simon" actually striking demonstration!
And now: Let's cook!
