Hello,
I can't go to a cooking school yet, some other schooling to be finish first. Still I think that it is important that I keep my nose in books so I was wondering if any of you chefs would have
reading suggestions.
Thanks!
Emmanuelle

Emmanuelle,
There are so many great books you could read before attending a cooking school. Since you do not specify a area of interest I will make a few general suggstions.
A good general book is The New Making of a Cook by Madeleine Kamman
To learn more about pastry Modern French Pastry by Yves Thuries is wonderful. It contains the recipes for all the classic french pastries.
Par votre nom, je devine que vous devez parler francais. Si tel est le cas, je vous conseilles les livres de Gaston Lenotre, peut etre moins dispendieux que les precedents mais excellent.
Bonne Lecture
Morgane

Quelle horreur! Please note that Barron's had three of Gaston Lenotre's books translated into English by Philip and Mary Hyman: "Lenotre's Desserts and Pastries" (1977), "Lenotre's Ice Creams and Candies" (1979), and "The Best of Lenotre: Glorious Desserts from France's Finest Pastry Maker" (1983). Available from out-of-print book searchers everywhere ...

Emmanuel,
Vous pouvez encore acheter la nouvelle édition américaine de "Classical Cooking: The Modern Way" par Engen Pauli. Cependant, cette édition a été éditée par John Wiley, qui a imprimé le livre dans deux volumes (un volume pour des recettes et un volume différent pour des méthodes et des techniques) qui ont coûté US$110. Essayez de trouver la deuxième édition (celle qui Van Nostrand Reinhold édité en 1979), qui devrait seulement coûter autour US$30.
Bonne chance!

bouurdain, got your book,KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL. love it. got the paperback and hardcover. it's ma bible.gonna get your other books as well.dig yer writing style.you're right. i can see it now,all these little cherries from culinary school being swept aside by the great storm that is the culinary world while Metz and co. continue to gain "influence". cryin'shame. i don't understand why people would have problems with the book. it is comparatively tame compared to some of the stuff that's going on out there. cheers. junior
