On Cooking has become the first book I reach for these days.
I have found this book to be a great resourse for anyone who loves to cook. It answers any and all questions regarding techniques and fundementals of cooking. I am a student at the Culinary Arts Institute at Mississippi University for Women where Chef Labensky is on staff. I have had the opportunity to take a class with her and it was like having a chapter of her book come to life. This book not only relates techniques but tells the hows and whys of food. I feel this book is a wonderful addition to the library of anyone who loves to cook or who just loves food. Sarah, Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

One of the best organized "Textbook" style books I have read
This book covers all major areas of modern food preparation and practice, albeit from an American perspective. One of the strengths of "Techniques from Expert Chefs" is why you do things, as well as how. The recipes form practical illustrations of each key technique and provide inspiration for other dishes. The descriptions of ingredients and typical usage are one of the most complete that I have seen in a book of this size. As a collector of culinary texts, I can say that this is one of the better books that I have seen. Labensky and Hause are to be commended.
