Founded in 1946, THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA is an independent, not-for-profit college offering bachelor’s and associate degrees in culinary arts and baking and pastry arts as well as certificate programs in culinary arts and wine and beverage studies. A network of more than 44,000 alumni has helped the CIA earn its reputation as the world’s premier culinary college. The CIA, which also offers courses for industry professionals and food enthusiasts, has campuses in Hyde Park, New York; St. Helena, California; San Antonio, Texas; and Singapore.
The huge textbooks from the Culinary Institute of America (with campuses in Hyde Park, NY. and Greystone, CA) are standard references for professionals; now the well-known school offers the culinary insights and experience of its staff to home cooks in a far more accessible work. An introductory section with dozens of step-by-step photographs covers equipment, basic pantry ingredients, and essential cooking techniques. Each of the recipe chapters opens with more specia1ized techniques related to their subject The 200 recipes, many of them shown in color photographs, include both classic and more contemporary dishes. While some of these are closer to comfort food than haute cuisine, the book ultimately emphasizes technique and more sophisticated recipes and will therefore appeal only to ambitious home cooks.

This oversized, beautifully photographed collection offers not only recipes but also techniques, as well as details on equipment, tools and styles of cooking, all clearly explained in words and pictures. Many of the dishes you'll know or think you do — Puttanesca sauce, roast chicken with gravy, orange and fennel salad, a basic vinaigrette, a gratin of fresh berries — but some finer point on how to make something better is added in the terrific margin notes.
