My husband is a professional chef, and he attended the CIA, so we have just about every book that they have published. I always have a hard time with their cookbooks, as they are geared more towards a professional chef, and not a "normal" cook. I LOVE this book though, as it is geared towards cooking at home in a professional manner. The buttermilk pancakes are the best pancakes that I have ...             Frozen Desserts9 reviews The Culinary Institute of America, Francisco J. Migoya Wiley, 2008 A wonderful book, but recipes are in "restaurant proportions" -- Photos are spectacular, and recipes are perfect The author is a desert specialist from the Culinary Institute of America, and presents readers with top chef quality recipes. The book is actually aimed at fellow professional chefs, and serious amateurs, since the recipes are all in restaurant proportions. So you will need your calculator or good simple math skills to divide the ingredients proportions to make the ice cream and other wonderful ...             Chocolates and Confections: Formula, Theory, and Technique for the Artisan Confectioner60 reviews Peter P. Greweling, The Culinary Institute of America Wiley, 2007 Chocolates & Confections I have made the divinity in this book three times (first time, I was sent "hard candy mix" instead of "Fondant". I made the divinity twice with fondant (powedered) and it tastes delicious but will not really set up and is sticky. Does anyone have a suggestion?? Thank you.             One Dish Meals6 reviews Culinary Institute of America Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2006 An Absolutely Great Selection of Recipies When you get a new cookbook and it falls open to crawfish etouffee, it's got to be a pretty great cookbook. Maybe that's because where I grew up in South Louisiana this was a standard in every restaurant. (In every small Louisiana town, back then at least, there was a small, locally owned, family style restaurant that anywhere else would have ranked among the very best - great food wasn't just a ...             The Professional Chef76 reviews The Culinary Institute of America Wiley, 2006 The Professional Chef is Wow! The Professional Chef is the book to have if you want to know anything about the Kitchen and Cooking. This book is visually exciting, well organized, great glossary, and indexed (two indexes: Subject and Recipe). It has gone beyond my expectation with needed information and learning. You will like The Professional Chef... I love it!             From Our Kitchens1 review The Culinary Institute of America, Culinary Institute of America (c) Wiley, 1993 To My Quirky Kitchen This delicious book has everything. Each elegant recipe has easy to find ingredients, very clear directions, serving suggestions, preparation hints and even that thing called Nutritional Information. This isn't a book about home cooking, it's a way of making gourmet cooking an everyday possibility. It's become my favorite cookbook and is now my favorite gift to friends and family.             The Modern Cafe6 reviews Francisco J. Migoya, The Culinary Institute of America Wiley, 2009 Excellent tips for new cafe owners As a graduate of the CIA's baking and pastry program at Greystone, I've chosen to go the entrepreneurial route toward business ownership rather than working my way up in the pastry field. This book provides relevant, practical information that will help readers run their kitchens and cafe businesses. It includes such tips as what products you can freeze (and for how long) without compromising ...             Chocolates and Confections at Home with The Culinary Institute of America7 reviews Peter P. Greweling, The Culinary Institute of America Wiley, 2009 An absolute must-have! I have a lot of cookbooks, many of which are candy and dessert books. I've been freelance (just do it!!) cooking for most of my life, including having made pull-taffy with my mom as a child. Over the years, I have had good and bad luck with various attempts at candymaking. Some of my divinity comes out perfect, some is dry. Pralines that are creamy, some that are grainy. Fudge that is ...             Baking and Pastry: Mastering the Art and Craft27 reviews The Culinary Institute of America Wiley, 2009 the book is exactly what i wanted - textbook for school i am very pleased with the textbook but EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in AMAZON's shipping. The post office almost sent my book back to sender because the shipping label was almost unreadable. Very surprised by this. LJB             Book of Soups: More than 100 Recipes for Perfect Soups26 reviews Culinary Institute of America Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2001 Just wonderful So far I have made four recipes from this book. Three of them were fabulous, and the one that wasn't was because of some crabmeat that was not fresh enough. The artichoke soup, and the wonton soup, were beyond belief! I had always wanted to know how to make wonton soup that tasted restaurant quality, and it was so easy! Any artichoke lover would trade in all the artisanal chocolate in Texas for ...             Garde Manger, Custom: The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen21 reviews LASTThe Culinary Institute of America (CIA) Wiley, 2008 Amazing GM - and not only! - Book! I am home cook who really loves appetizers. So this book was really exactly what I was looking for! Very detailed guidelines starting from the basics and all over to decorating and finishing. High quality photos, including step-by -step ones, as well as a great variety of recipes. There are dedicated chapters for each type of cold food, such as salads, sandwiches, terrines/pates/galantines, ...             Gourmet Meals in Minutes13 reviews The Culinary Institute of America Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2004 The Rolls Royce of meals in minutes cookbooks I love cookbooks. I have an extensive collection. I taught myself how to cook using cookbooks so I believe a good cookbook is one that inspires and should be understandable and reasonably easy to use; with that in mind I love this cookbook. A big reason I love this book is because it does not try to trick you into believing that a great meal will just magically appear in 30 minutes. This book ...             The New Book of Soups1 review The Culinary Institute of America Lebhar-Friedman, 2009 A must This book is a must own for any serious cook. A definitive source book with highly evolved methodologies and well explained charts, The CIA had provided a beautiful guide to great soups, stews and chowders (and more) for all to enjoy             Garde Manger, The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen17 reviews The Culinary Institute of America Wiley, 2004 The hows and whys on soups, salad and sandwiches . This is another great TEXT from the CIA. As with all good textbooks, the focus is on the how and why rather than on the what. The recipes are to illustrate lesson points rather than be the focus of the book. If you want to improve you cold kitchen skills, buy this book.             Cooking at Home with The Culinary Institute of America15 reviews The Culinary Institute of America Wiley, 2003 a must for your kitchen library the CIA does it's job with this cookbook... great on explaining basic cooking techniques and equipment paired with a broad, well presented, range of recipes.             The New Professional Chef28 reviews Culinary Institute of America Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1991 The New Professional Chef Scores a 10 As a professional chef myself and a graduate of the California Culinary Academy, I keep 2 copies of this incredibly wonderful cookbook. It is an absolute necessity in anybodies kitchen from the novice to the Professional. After spending 2 years at chefs school in the early 70's and opening a chain of restaurants in Los Angeles, I got into a rut and lost not only my imagination but also forgot ...             Professional Chef72 reviews Culinary Institute of America Cbi Pub Co, 1974 Better than the latest edition, and a great foundation for any cook If you were to read this book cover-to-cover, you would know exactly what was being talked about on any cooking channel. But then you'd also be able to separate the pretenders (like Rachel Ray, Bibby Flay, and the "slap-it-on-a-plate" gang) from someone who at least loves the craft (Emeril, Anthony Bourdain) despite cutting a lot of corners. Moreover, you would save yourself decades of ...             Exploring Wine Inst Manual18 reviews Culinary Institute of America Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1996 Great book Call it a bias opinion but since i was taught this book by the author Mr. Kolpan. This book has done wonders for me. No this book is not for the weak reader it has alot of information and can get a bit wordy but all of it has relevance in its own context. Who ever says this book is not a good resource is disagreeing with UC Davis and The Culinary Institute of America cause both Schools use this ...              search for books america, artisan, baking, breakfasts, brunches, chocolates, collection, confectioner, confections, cookbook, cooking, culinary, custom, desserts, exploring, favorite, formula, gourmet, institute, kitchen, kitchens, manger, mastering, minutes, pastry, perfect, professional, recipes, series, technique books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
