Market-leading cooking text

For over two decades, On Cooking: A Textbook of Culinary Fundamentals has prepared students for successful careers in the culinary arts. Clear and comprehensive, this best-selling text teaches the “hows” and “whys” of cooking and baking principles, while providing step-by-step instructions, visual guidance, and recipes to clarify techniques.

The 6th Edition expands its “fundamentals” approach, reflects key trends, and adds information on healthy cooking, sous-vide, curing, and smoking, plus dozens of new recipes and more than 200 new photographs.
