One might think from its lack of specifics that it is not a book for beginners, but I disagree -- I think it is the ideal book for beginners. By presenting open ended recipes, providing authoritative discussions on food chemistry and food science, and by encouraging experimentation, it provides the tools for a cook at any level of expertise to experience the greatest joy of cooking, which is to produce a unique, personal work of art at the table.
At its price, this makes a great gift.
