A virtual encyclopedia of culinary arts, On Cooking spotlights more than 600 delectable recipes--from soups to meats to desserts--presented by 30 of the world's greatest chefs. Richly illustrated with more than 1,250 full-color photographs, the book also features special "heart healthy" recipes, international cooking, and more.

Similar in scope and approach to the Culinary Institute's The New Professional Chef (LJ 8/91), this textbook/reference was put together by Phoenix cookbook author Labensky and caterer Hause. Like The New Professional Chef, it begins with an introduction to the food service industry, then covers equipment and kitchen staples, with the bulk of the book devoted to all aspects of professional cooking and baking. This volume includes 1250 color photographs and 5500 recipes, in contrast to Chef's 700 recipes and 900 color photographs plus illustrations. Many of the recipes in Labensky and Hause's work come from a variety of professional chefs, and it shows. While one should expect that yields for stocks and other basic preparations be large in a text of this sort, home cooks attempting to use the recipes may be frustrated by serving sizes that vary from recipe to recipe, serving from one or two people to ten to 16 or more. The color photographs and step-by-step technique shots give this value as a reference, so special collections may want to consider; those that already have The New Professional Chef, however, can skip it.
