When you are done learning the basic about health and safety in the kitchen, the next step towards learning French cuisine is to get yourself a culinary school book that you will use reference guide along your journey.

My recommendations is to get one out of the 2 books below to assist you throughout your journey:

The other important thing we need to be concentrating on, Is learning about the basic ingredients found in a French pantry.

I like Pepin’s “La Technique” for it’s clear explanations (and photos) explaining how to perform certain procedures in the kitchen. Not so much a “cookbook, ” but very helpful in understanding why things are done in a certain way.

What is French cooking? It's simple--and can be stated in one word: DELICIOUS.

I do have several of Julia Child's cookbooks especial her "Mastering the art of French Cooking". Its a great cook book that was geared to Americans in measurements and such.

You are officially my hero. Thank you for linking things and having such a thorough way of explaining things.

Thank you, Stephane, for all your videos! Very eager to watch all of your "back to basics" videos now.!

Looking forward to this series. I'm finally excited to have found a channel like yours, especially when you are organizing and structuring the content.

I like how you are focussing on cooks at home, not in restaurants or in employed as cooks. I can see how your approach will have the widest and most useful way of replicating the great French cuisine.

For those who are wondering why I've not checked other channels, let me say I have. I have even checked famous chefs, TV shows, test kitchens, and even one idiot who has a French cooking channel but hardly ever cooks. All he's doing is tinkering with low-level hardware gadgets. I've also looked at "foodies" who travel to new places and sample the foods. Those are hit or miss in terms of quality or applicability. But finally I think Stephane's approach shows the most promise.

Thank you for the video! I just started cooking and your Insite for me to understand why things are happening is a great way to learn!

Hi Stephen, I'm a huge fan of your cooking and your channel. Why don't you go on MasterChef??? I think you could win the whole competition! Seriously, have you ever considered going on MasterChef?

I have 22 of a possible 26 Le Cordon Bleu Home Collection Cookbooks. I use them 3 times a week. I love making the effort. The taste is incredible.

I am a first year student at the culinary school at Schenectady County Community College, in Schenectady, NY. I am taking an introductory course, Food Prep I. Escoffier Le Guide Culinaire in English translation is one of our textbooks.

Finally French cooking basics

[kerrim]

Bon jour! I visited France last month and fell in love with the people, the places and of course the food!! So glad I found your channel.
Just wondering if you have or may have a cookbook? I would love to have a French cooking academy cookbook at home 👍👍

[Alex_Short]

I sawa Headline and was blown away. I need that stuff so damn much

[lilmax]

I simply love this channel! Great work on the video description. So thank you!

My book recommendation would be On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee. Not a cook book, but a comprehensive guide to the physics and chemistry of cooking. A bible for foodies in its own right.

A video on good and bad vinegar would be cool.

I think you should make a video explaining good and bad quality dairy and meat products and produce etc. If you are familiar with American farms you know it's not focused on quality. I try to buy pasture raised grass fed dairy but it's rare and cost more. But the difference is huge.
