The cooks bible
I was told to buy this book when I was just beginning as a chef in 1962,at a cost of 30 shillings ( £1.50), then half a weeks wages, it has been with me everywhere I have gone, it has all the ingredients to make cooking great, but it is not for the beginner, no quantities are mentioned, so it is guess work.
But it tells you what goes into all the classic dishes.
even over 100 ways to cook Potatoes.
I am proud to own it and it has been the best book I have ever owned. David Denham

For the PROFESSIONAL/EXPERIENCED Cook
A little basic knowledge is required when using the book of Professionals. Their are no quantities, only ingredients. But if you wish to follow traditional French recipes, this is the book for you. This book is recommended as basic to professional Chef's training. Be innovative, try it all, at least once.

Useful reference
Recipes for just about every classic dish ever invented condensed down to a mere line or two.

Ever been stuck for a different way to cook potatoes or wondered what Charlotte Russe is - this little reference book is brilliant for this sort of thing.

Also a useful recipe book for chefs but it does assume quite a lot of knowledge so it wouldn't be a good book for someone without any experience.
