Here's a quick description of the book:
Louis Eguaras, a renowned chef at the Le Cordon Bleu Program at the California School of Culinary Arts, provides readers with a terrific overview of what is truly involved in the preparation, cooking, and presentation of meals. He also provides invaluable insights into just what is involved in making this one's chosen profession.
The book will feature a wide range of illustrated lessons, from how to properly hold a knife... to the history of food... from food preparation and presentation... to restaurant hospitality and management, and much more.
The book will be presented in the distinctive and highly-attractive packaged style of 101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL, and will be the perfect gift for anyone who is thinking about entering culinary school, is already enrolled, or even just the casual chef.
I've been working on cooking for the last few years. More so since I got married, but it sucks when you're married to someone who's home less than half the time. So I've been trying to come up with creative meals for just me. But I love cooking for others more. There are plenty of fun little facts included in the book. Like the different types of starch in potatoes. There are starchy potatoes, medium starch potatoes and low starch potatoes. Did you know that there were that many types? And they had different cooking uses? And what about the concept that Good beef is 30 days old? Glad I'm not that big of a beef eater. There are many more fun facts and ideas about cooking that anyone would be interested in.
So I'm able to offer up 3 copies of 101 Things I Learned in Culinary School so that you can learn some interesting things about cooking, or maybe refresh things that you already knew.

What I love about cooking is that you can alter things whenever you want. It's fun for me to find well known recipes and tweak them to make them my own.
I'm following you on Twitter now :)

The book sounds really cool! I also just recently started having a huge fascination with cooking. What I love about cooking is it brings people together. No matter how rough someone's day may have been, when you sit down to a great meal with great people, all that worry and stress disappears for a while ::sigh:: LOL!
