This is a must have for any culinary library. Have you ever wondered what "beurre manie" is or even how to pronounce it for that matter? Then this is the book for you. It is an extremely useful and educational reference book for the beginning culinarian to the master chef. So get out your highlighter and your notepad because this will be a culinary experience that you we enjoy.
