/ck/ - Food & Cooking

europeans didn't need one as they had fathers

i wondered this too. I want a book that has tips and not so much actual recipes. One time a chef on tv said "rosemary, loves chicken" and that shit is so true. Changed my life. fr fr no cap

Harold McGee is legit but not beginner stuff

>>19868868
what would be a good beginner book that also teaches the foundation then?

This and Mastering the Art of French Cooking are kind of the 2 "old school" default cookbooks you would expect to find in someones kitchen. >>19868711 would be a good addition too.

I remember there was a really fancy published box set cookbook that came out like 4 or 5 years ago that was really expensive that was kind of made to be the end-all-be-all but i cant remember the name of it. Pretty sure it was a 3 or 4 volume set that was over $100.
If you're only gonna get one, the joy of cooking would be my choice, btw. You can prob. find it at most used book stores for a few bucks.

It's a good book OP has pictured.
James Beard himself has several good books OP.

Frugal Gourmet is underrated for sure. He taught me so much.

"On Food and Cooking" by Harold McGee from 1984 is the standard that the modern cooking paradigm of food and cooking by way of science is based on. It is the most important and influential culinary book since Escoffier.

Professional cooking by Wayne Gisslen.
It’s a textbook rather than a cookbook, but it goes through the foundations very well and has some great recipes.

it's from a book by anton lavey, the cringelord supreme who founded the church of satanism
no doubt the whole thing was written as cope over one of his cult whores telling him his dick smelled like blue cheese

I can't wait to order a salad in a restaurant and exclaim "this salad tastes exactly like a big sloppy pussy" to impress the kitchen staff

>>19868711
cooking books are useless, what made me a great cook was watching chef john and replicating his recipes and methods + being forced to cook every day
practice makes you a good cook, also invest in quality equipment and ingredients, can't make good food with shit
