A completely redesigned, revised and updated edition of Gisslen's classic professional cookbook. The most prominent change in this version is the inclusion of hundreds of new color photographs. By utilizing color, the concise step-by-step illustrations of manual techniques have become even clearer. These photos support and reinforce the systematic presentation of cooking theory and methods which is the heart of the book. The techniques are shown from the perspective of the person performing them, so that readers can understand them at a glance.
