Chef's Secrets: Insider Techniques From Today's Culinary Masters

Author: Francine Maroukian

In Chef's Secrets, more than 80 renowned chefs share the tricks, timesaving techniques, and wisdom they've learned through years of experience. The Food Network's Sara Moulton shows how to keep dredging neat and simple; pastry chef Fran ois Payard shows how piping chocolate can make fabulous-looking desserts; Norman Van Aken offers step-by-step instructions for making an intensely flavored pan sauce; and much, much more.
Each technique is described in the chef's own words, along with a short, revealing interview and a detailed profile of the chef's accomplishments. With tips ranging from the basics (how to peel ginger with a teaspoon) to the extreme (how to filet an eel), Chef's Secrets will appeal to beginners as well as established foodies. It's the perfect addition to any food lover's bookshelf!

Author: Jack Sleight

Teaches you with diagrams and cogent explanation, how to smoke food in family rather than commercial quantities. It is an invaluable reference work, the first of the kind I know that evaluates the equipment and methods of smoking (down to canning smoked food) and gives tested recipes as well.
