All aspects of culinary technique are examined, from the basics of trussing a chicken to crystallizing flowers for decorating fancy desserts. Detailed instructions feature: kitchen planning; buying equipment; buying, preparing, preserving, and serving food of all kinds; and menu planning. Over a dozen cooking methods are described. A glossary of cooking terms is included, and informative charts, diagrams, and illustrations accompany the text. (nm)
