Publisher's Note
In this unrivaled practical guide, one of America's most widely respected cookbook authors distilIs his vast knowledge and experience into the 100 essential techniques that every cook needs to know. Seven hundred and fifty photographs unravel the mysteries of the method and provide practical application on the spot. Each technique is further explained in terms of how it makes the food taste: What happens, for example, if you cook the fish in butter versus oil? Why does roasting make vegetables taste so good? How do you decide whether you want to make a chicken stew or saute? Here are answers to just about every cooking question, from the simple to the sublime: how to boil an artichoke or cook a soft-boiled egg, or how to clean soft-shell crabs or even butcher and roast a whole saddle of lamb. Knowing how to execute a technique makes you efficient; knowing why you've chosen that technique makes you a master.

Industry Reviews
"I can't imagine saying this about many other cookbooks, but ESSENTIALS OF COOKING really is essential. Even if you think you already know enough about cooking, I command you to buy a copy right now."
Richards

"All the pictures were taken in Peterson's Brooklyn kitchen. By him. The photography is particularly good and a strength of the book....In a book that depends on detailed instruction, these pictures make all the difference....The text is also soaked with the fine detail that only an experienced, observant cook would know to include."
New York Times - Amanda Hesser (01/12/2000)
