In the Hands of a Chef: A Book About Chefs and Their Tools
There is a niche in the culinary book market between those books written exclusively for home cooks and those written for professionals. The Culinary Institute of America assembled this book about cooking implements with the beginning professional cooking student in mind. It is a good first text for the aspiring culinary student and a good step up toward more professional cooking for the home cook. In addition to the expected coverage of knives (and their care and sharpening), it has sections on many other kitchen tools and their proper use. Photographs illustrate the description of processes to assist the visual learner. Never have I seen the process of breaking down a rabbit set forth more clearly. It includes a glossary, an appendix on measurements, a list of sources, a bibliography and a list of culinary associations. This is a useful text for the cook who is already competent and wishes to gain further proficiency.
