  <description><![CDATA[Put simply, <em>Cooking</em> is a revelation. No other cookbook so deftly illustrates as broad a scope of classic culinary methods and flavors as   you'll find here. As a veteran chef and award-winning cookbook author, James Peterson is   uniquely qualified to take food lovers into the modern kitchen and turn them into   passionate, precise, intuitive cooks. What's most impressive about a book of this breadth   and size (540 pages and 600 recipes, brought to life with 1500 vivid color photographs) is   how accessible and fun it is to read. Every recipe in <em>Cooking</em> sings with a deep   knowledge of the ingredients at hand, encouraging cooks not just to follow the recipe but to   really understand and relish in the process, and the result is a terrific turn-to reference   for any cook seeking inspired instruction. <em>--Anne Bartholomew</em><br/><br/>  ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Put simply, <em>Cooking</em> is a revelation. No other cookbook so deftly illustrates as broad a scope of classic culinary methods and flavors as   you'll find here. As a veteran chef and award-winning cookbook author, James Peterson is   uniquely qualified to take food lovers into the modern kitchen and turn them into   passionate, precise, intuitive cooks. What's most impressive about a book of this breadth   and size (540 pages and 600 recipes, brought to life with 1500 vivid color photographs) is   how accessible and fun it is to read. Every recipe in <em>Cooking</em> sings with a deep   knowledge of the ingredients at hand, encouraging cooks not just to follow the recipe but to   really understand and relish in the process, and the result is a terrific turn-to reference   for any cook seeking inspired instruction. <em>--Anne Bartholomew</em><br/><br/>  ]]>

    <![CDATA[Put simply, <em>Cooking</em> is a revelation. No other cookbook so deftly illustrates as broad a scope of classic culinary methods and flavors as   you'll find here. As a veteran chef and award-winning cookbook author, James Peterson is   uniquely qualified to take food lovers into the modern kitchen and turn them into   passionate, precise, intuitive cooks. What's most impressive about a book of this breadth   and size (540 pages and 600 recipes, brought to life with 1500 vivid color photographs) is   how accessible and fun it is to read. Every recipe in <em>Cooking</em> sings with a deep   knowledge of the ingredients at hand, encouraging cooks not just to follow the recipe but to   really understand and relish in the process, and the result is a terrific turn-to reference   for any cook seeking inspired instruction. <em>--Anne Bartholomew</em><br/><br/>  ]]>
