This book totally rocks!
If you love cooking or the Food Network you will love this book. Michael Ruhlman goes to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and poses as a student to learn what it's really like to be a student at CIA. I haven't eaten much snooty food but I love reading about how to make a killer seafood terrine or a classic veal stock. I guess I'm a food nerd.
I found it completely fascinating to see how difficult it really is to become a good chef and how this type of education changes a person. I loved this so much I went out immediately to get his next book "The Soul of a Chef".
Michael Ruhlman is one of the judges on the PBS reality show Cooking Under Fire.
