What's a Cook to Do

Chef, instructor, and award-winning cookbook author James Peterson is known in the culinary world as the guru-to-the-professionals -- the chef who teaches the chefs. Now, for the first time, Peterson turns his immense knowledge into a practical, thorough, quick-reference, A-to-Z answer book for cooks everywhere.

The 500 invaluable techniques -- with nearly as many colour photographs -- are organised into ten chapters, from the extensive 'Hints, Tips, and Techniques' section to chapters on specific types of food (Cakes, Batters, and Custards and Broths, Soups and Sauces, for example), in handy, accessible format.

Peterson includes the basic techniques that every cook should know -- or might need to be reminded of -- plus tips, short-cuts, and tricks to make a cook's job easier and the results tastier.

Reading 'What's a Cook to Do' is like having a professional chef by your side, lending a hand, passing along secrets and best ways as you cook. The perfect book for all cooks, everywhere.
