Over six hundred techniques, a thousand photographs, and Jacques Pépin himself with his hands in every single step. This is the fiftieth-anniversary edition of the work that taught an entire generation of American cooks how to hold a knife, and which is still used in culinary schools for the simple reason that nobody has bothered to redo the job since. There are newer technique books, and they're worse. This edition also includes 160 recipes, which in context is basically a bonus.
