The photography is amazing. It’s not a heavy weight book, but has some good basic information. It’s great for helping you understand that caviar can be part of recipes.

They‘re beautiful and delicate, and even if you’ve made a really groovy creative vessel to serve your caviar, it adds a nice touch of elegance without making it FRIGHTENINGLY elegant.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking

5 people recommended this item

Description

One of Julia Child’s early cookbooks with Simone Beck. You must learn to crawl before you can run! I think everyone should learn basic French technique. It will open up the world to you culinarily. When you learn those techniques, you learn about chemistry and what food does: what acid does to food, what heat does to protein...It’s all about learning the basic skills and practicing them.

KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer

51 people recommended this item

Description

Oprah's personal chef and her favorite cooks use this mixer and you should too. It is the BEST and it comes in a variety of colors. Red will make the perfect Christmas present and red is always chic and in style ( I would probably go for pink).
