About the Book

This cookbook leads you through the world of culinary arts as if you were in a private cooking class, learning terminology, techniques, and the use of ingredients easily found in your local grocery store.  Chef Macdonald helps aspiring culinarians start with easy dishes, including the requisites of the recipes, like knife skills, and takes them right up to the classical French delights.  Chef Macdonald insists the recipes presented in the book should be seen as guide lines upon which to "throw your own spin".  The over arching message is to have fun with cooking while improving your palate, and sharing your cooking with friends and family.
