.The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute of America
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: Michael Ruhlman

1999-10
I first stumbled accross this book at the public library and checked it out once and read it in record time. I checked it out a second time and read it again. I wanted to read it a third time and purchased my own copy so the librarian wouldn't think I was too strange! I enjoyed hearing tales of the students' successes and failures and watching their progression through the program. Michael's book makes my desire to change careers and attend culinary school even stronger, but it also brings the reality of the demands of a culinary program to light. A must read for anyone interested in culinary school or those who truly love to cook!

.The Scots Kitchen
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: F. Marian McNeill

October 25, 2004
Marian McNeill explores the varieties of cooking available in Scotland. She leaves out some of the more common recipes, to be found in more generalist cookbooks, and recognises, also, that many 'traditional' Scottish dishes have their counterparts in other parts of the British Isles (and, indeed, Europe). She concentrates, therefore, on the self-evidently 'national' dishes and the ones most likely to be forgotten "in this age of standardization" (she was writing in 1929)!

The traditional dishes have come under more sustained attack since then - supermarkets, fast food outlets, the demise of home cooking, and the glitzy, glamorous images presented by the magazine and television chefs who extol more exotic fare than fresh baked scones ... Read More:

.Grand Livre De Cuisine: Alain Duccasse's Culinary Encyclopedia
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: Alain Ducasse

March 25, 2005
Alain Ducasse is one of the greatest chefs in the world. Therefore, when the book is described as being for, "..professional chefs and experienced home cooks" it means just that. However, follow the recipes closely and you will create some amazing meals. There may be techniques of which you are not aware, but isn't one of the wonders of cooking the ability to learn new things? If you learn how to use this book properly, you cannot help but become a much better cook. This is not for the part-time, 5 minute, cook. There are many excellent books to cover that area of cooking.

Bon Apetit!

.Gordon Ramsay: The Biography
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: Neil Simpson

March 31, 2006
Having watched Ramsay in his 'Kitchen Nightmares' series and various other stuff, I thought I'd give this autobiography a go. It's pretty pedestrian and doesn't really offer a great degree of insight into his private life and career. Overall, it's bland and inoffensive, somehow you get the idea that the author is scared of upsetting the volcanic chef.
