Here is the bibliography of my favorite books about food and cooking. I only list books that I own, like and find useful.
The links on this page will take you to the book pages at Amazon.com.
, a nice introduction to general cooking
, a comprehensive baking book.I like them both. They are textbooks for culinary students. They explain the theory and techniques and provide a lot of useful background information. The recipes in these books are more streamlined than the typical home cooking recipes and contain less folklore. For home use you will need some practice in recipe conversion as many of the recipes yield more than 20 servings.
, beautiful photos and fantastic recipes, many of them too complicated or time consuming for home cooking.
, has some nice ideas.
has some "bistro food" recipes
, adaptations of traditional German recipes.
, a wonderful introduction to French cooking with working adaptations to American ingredients. I love the duck recipes.
, unfortunately out of print, is a very nice collection of European recipes, organized by country. Beautiful photography. The recipes sometimes need interpretation or adaptation.
, the bible of Italian cooking.
, a very good book about Italian cooking.
, a nice collection of many, many Indian recipes. I only tried a few recipes of the 1000, but the ones I tried worked just fine.
, a cute little book about how to use a pressure cooker. Many recipes. The ones I tried worked. I find it very useful as a guideline for pressure cooking times.
