Rush Limbo posted:I'd honestly say Escoffier's cookbook is pretty worthwhile to have. It is slightly antiquated by now (when we learning from it, we joked how he would pass anything through a strainer to mince it and we were desperately searching for an instance of him using a whole chicken) and very much designed for those who already know how to cook as it is very terse and only gives you the basic outline, on the assumption you know enough to know how everything works. It also lists huge amounts of ingredients because it's assumed to be used for batch cooking. Do note that Escoffier's cookbook is for Haute (high or grand) cuisine, so a lot of the recipes do involve 'french' techniques that aren't used today due to the laborious involvement. Additionally, if you do decide to use any recipe from this book, make a habit of transcribing the recipes to paper.
