Culinary Artistry Review: Absolutely Invaluable - Let me clarify what this book is and what it isn't: It's not a cookbook. This isn't some grand tome one picks up to select the perfect recipe for a certain occasion. This book is a companion for those who write their own recipes. When you're putting together a dish and you're stumped on that one last component to put it over the top, chances are you'll find it here. Maybe you have a dish you love and want to adjust it seasonally? This is a great resource. Hmmmmm, I do this Spanish dish and I think it would be fun to give it a Korean flair but I want to keep it grounded, sensible and delicious. There's good advice to be had here. I'm a professional chef and to be honest this isn't the first book I grab when I'm looking to get inspired, but it's usually the last book I put down when I'm putting the finishing touches on a dish. Those of you in the business will understand, you know when you're tasting that dish and it's really good but it just needs that little something and you can't quite put your finger on it? before you go down that hellish road of a pinch of this and a dash of that after a grand tour of your walk-in please thumb through this book! You'll save yourself a lot of aggravation. Usually after about a minute or two of browsing this book's charts you'll have that 'Aha Moment' and take your dish where it needs to go. This isn't a book for novices though. Not that one needs to be a professional to use it, the ambitious home cook can certainly find many uses, but I don't see how this book would be useful for a beginner. Keep that in mind. I highly recommend this for any advanced cook, I've found it incredibly useful. Review: Great book - Great book, everyone who condider culinary career should get this book, got it many years ago from one of my chefs and recently got few of them for my sous chefs. You will not find r3cipes there, but it's one of the best reference book out there ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0471287857 | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,863 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #18 in Professional Cooking (Books) #853 in Culinary Arts & Techniques (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (971) | | Dimensions | 7.4 x 1 x 9.2 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9780471287858 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0471287858 | | Item Weight | 1.65 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 448 pages | | Publication date | November 14, 1996 | | Publisher | Wiley | ## Images ![Culinary Artistry - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+m3BulBDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Invaluable *by C***N on December 4, 2012* Let me clarify what this book is and what it isn't: It's not a cookbook.

You will not find r3cipes there, but it's one of the best reference book out there ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a tool, not a cookbook *by M***O on April 5, 2023* I bought a copy of this 10 years ago when I was in culinary school. My sous chef from the restaurant I worked in recommended it to me to help give me ideas for recipes and dishes I had to present in classes. While in advanced baking, my final was to create a signature dessert. I wanted it to be elegant, but not overdone. Classic, but layered. I needed flavors that melded together to create something unique. In this book I learned which spices compliment fruits, vegetables, proteins. Which herbs bring out the best flavors. What foods compliment one another and which are opposites you should steer clear of. I learned that spicy, smoky peppers not only add to chocolate, but also oranges, creams, cherries. And I was able to craft my signature dessert! Not only did I ace my exam-- I have referenced this book hundreds of times over the years for inspiration in the kitchen. If you want to learn how to mix, mold and layer flavors-- buy this book! ## Frequently Bought Together - Culinary Artistry - The Flavor Matrix: The Art and Science of Pairing Common Ingredients to Create Extraordinary Dishes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1274429-culinary-artistry](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1274429-culinary-artistry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
