Loving this book, some of the recipes and processes can be rather involved. I've made about 5 or 6 things out of it and the results have been great.

La Technique by Jacques Pepin is essential

This.

Also, pic related.

>>8723379

This and Mastering The Art of French Cooking v1&2.

Volume 1 is the best, Volume 2 is good as well. The detailed introduction about cutlery, terminology and technique make it worth it alone.

God mode cooker right here

you mean per se but we got it.

>>8723881
J. Kuckji Lopez-Alt's book is a waste of money. Saccharine prose and no original ideas. Better off just watching Heston ISOP and ATK instead of buying this thing

>>8723954
I'll give those two a shot, they sound interesting.
What does ATK stand for, by the way?

>>8723960
Nevermind, found my brain.

That's a great one. Use it a lot. His roast chicken method is fantastic.

James Beard - Beard on Bread
Edward Espe Brown - Tassajara Bread Book
Harold McGee - On Food And Cooking
Adolf Hitler - To Serve Jews
Jeff Smith - The Frugal Gourmet
quite a lot of recipes from The USENET Cookbook

>Eleven Madison Park

This one is worth buying for the pantry section alone. You can learn how to make world-class stocks and purees there.

Also gonna recommend The French Laundry cookbook for similar reasons. Maybe you won't execute the 3-star dishes, but you are sure to get a idea of how to execute general items at that level.

>Harold McGee - On Food And Cooking

Most important one yet. It's the best resource available for an accessible understanding of food at a scientific level.

I think Beard on Bread is a better one, especially for beginners. Tassajara is just plain fun to read.

>>8724395
Also Flour Water Salt Yeast is by far my favorite baking cookbook.

Also, if anyone would be so kind as to download this one:
http://uploadrocket.net/la5xby2okgld.htm
and rehost it somewhere else (and post in the thread on where), I'd appreciate it. ULR blocks downloads from my geolocation. Filescdn.com would be the site I'd prefer it on, with DailyUploads.net or Suprafiles.co being others that work for me.

Mastering the art of Japanese cooking by morimoto, if you're a casual cook, but interestes in making home style Japanese dishes. I found a lot of useful info even though I do tweak based on my own preferences.

I would disregard the curry rice recipe in it though.

You mean the milk of a penis, don't you?

>>8719576
So why is there not a sticky of "Noobs start here" like /fit/ does?

>>8725926
Because stickies are for fags, and /ck/ is female

>>8725926
There is one written but they can't decide where to host it.

>>8725926
Nothing about food can be generalized to cover the whole world. Food is different everywhere.

>not just pastebin
What the fugg

>>8725941
>not showing people what is the basic equipment quality you should get
>not showing people what books or YT to emulate
Hell /fit/ does more for cooking than you anons

>>8725941
The basics the same.
They never change, objectively speaking.

>>8725944
Yeah, because they're a bunch of fags. Sounds like you might be a fag, too.

>>8725944
Gookmoot wont allow a sticky to pastebin for some reason. Same goes for the booru.

>>8725957
I'm just saying, until you have regular gay threads on this board, there won't be a sticky.

Flavor Bible is a good read, though possibly not essential or good for a beginner.

>>8725944
Again, that is different everywhere. Not everyone's going to need a cleaver and wok, but some people certainly will. There's no such thing as "basic" that applies across the board.

Maybe not as an actual cookbook, but it's an awesome reference.
