Digital Foreword

In the print editionof La Varenne Pratique, I wrote, Modern technology, has in effect,transformed how we stock our kitchen and how we handle and prepare food. Some 20years later, modern technology has transformed the way we consume cookbooks. Theoriginal La Varenne Pratique, despite selling more than 500,000 copiesworldwide, went out of print. With the original harder to find and more expensive tobuy, I felt the time was right to create an eBook edition to make La VarennePratique affordable and accessible once again.

This eBook is a digital reproduction of the original, created byscanning in every one of the book's 500-plus pages. Digitizing this complicated bookwas not without challenges. If a page does not format as you would expect, wesuggest that you change the font, font size, or page orientation. The eBooks imagescan be enlarged, though they cannot be magnified beyond a certain point, as theimages are scans from the original printed book, not high-resolution digitalphotographs. That said, the images themselves are larger, and easier to study, thanthose in the original print edition.

We decided to divide the book into four parts to make it easier forreaders to digest. Now you can download only the part of greatest interest or all ofthem as you see fit. To the devotees of the print edition, dont worry: nothing ismissing! Every image and every accent has made it safely across the digital divide.We dropped the index as the search function puts a static index to shame. You canquickly find any term, technique, word or phrase at the push of a button.

While we have sliced, diced and digitized the original to fit moderntimes, this eBook edition of La Varenne Pratique still celebrates the pleasures ofthe table inside and outside the kitchen just as before. To everyone who hascherished the print edition and to those who are just discovering the digital one, Iagain say, bon appetit!

Preface

In the past 30 years I have had the good fortune to work in food and in cooking in three different countriesFrance, Great Britain and the United States. This book is the distillation of that experience. It is also the fruit of almost continuous writing and research, much of it associated with La Varenne, the cooking school which I founded in Paris in 1975.

As its name implies, La Varenne Pratique is a book for the practicing cook. The point of departure is that mastery of ingredients is as important to success in the kitchen as mastery of technique. In each chapter, therefore, we consider carefully how to choose ingredients, how to store them, and indeed how to identify them in the first place. Modern technology has, in effect, transformed how we stock our kitchen and how we handle and prepare our food.

Allied with good ingredients must be a knowledge of technique, and it is here that French skill comes into play. The action photographs in this book were shot with French chefs in the heart of France, yet the techniques they demonstrate have universal application, covering such basics as chopping an onion, as well as the complexities of boning a rabbit and tempering chocolate. The principles of cooking apply equally to English roast beef and to a Texas barbecue.
