Approach and Philosophy of On Cooking The sixth edition of On Cooking follows the model established in previous editions, which have prepared thousands of students for successful careers in the culinary arts by building a strong foundation based on sound fundamental techniques. Students and instructors alike have praised On Cooking for its comprehensive yet accessible coverage of culinary skills and cooking procedures. Chapters focus on six areas that are essential to a well-rounded culinary professional: ➊ Professionalism Background chapters introduce students to the field and feature material on food history, food safety and menu planning. Updated food safety infor- mation reflects the most recent regulations.

Equipment, basic knife skills and mise en place concepts are explained and illustrated. Staple ingredients, such as dairy products, herbs and spices as well as flavor profiles are also presented in this section. ➌ Cooking These chapters explain and then demonstrate fundamental cooking tech- niques with a wide range of recipes. Individual chapters focus on different categories of key ingredients such as meats, poultry, fish, eggs and vegetables. ➍ Garde Manger These chapters cover kitchen preparations including salads, sandwich making, charcuterie and hors d’oeuvre preparations. Material is of sufficient depth to support a complete unit on garde manger skills. ➎ Baking These chapters cover a range of classic and contemporary breads and pastries that every culinary student should know. The material is sufficient to support a stand- alone unit on breads and dessert preparation. ➏ Presentation Revised chapters on plate and buffet presentation demonstrate tradi- tional and contemporary techniques for enhancing the visual presentation of food. The basics of buffet setup and management are also included in this section. UPDATES More than 225 new photographs and illustrations clearly show core techniques, equipment and foods.
