Book Review of The Chef's Secret Cook Book

The Chef's Secret Cook Book
reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


"Louis Szathmary is simultaneously a chef's chef and an amateur cook's friend. As a quick dip into its pages reveals, the glory of The Chef's Secret Cook Book is that it makes available for the first time the art of great cooking minus the fuss and fustian that usually accompany it. What Louis Szathmary offers is a classical Escoffier approach to the preparation of food that is unmistakably clear and marvelously pragmatic in its instructions."
