Imagine having Martha Stewart at your side in the kitchen, teaching you how to hold a chef’s knife, select the very best ingredients, truss a chicken, make a perfect pot roast, prepare every vegetable, bake a flawless pie crust, and much more. In Martha Stewart’s Cooking School, you get just that: a culinary master class from Martha herself, with lessons for home cooks of all levels. Never before has Martha written a book quite like this one. Arranged by cooking technique, it’s aimed at teaching you how to cook, not simply what to cook. Delve in and soon you’ll be roasting, broiling, braising, stewing, sautéing, steaming, and poaching with confidence and competence. In addition to the techniques, you’ll find more than 200 sumptuous, all-new recipes that put the lessons to work, along with invaluable step-by-step photographs to take the guesswork out of cooking. You’ll also gain valuable insight into equipment, ingredients, and every other aspect of the kitchen to round out your culinary education. Featuring more than 500 gorgeous color photographs, Martha Stewart’s Cooking School is the new gold standard for everyone who truly wants to know his or her way around the kitchen. This best-selling cookbook originally inspired Martha Stewart's beloved PBS series of the same name and includes some of the recipes the show featured in its first seasons.

マーサ・スチュワートによる本作は、単なるレシピ集を超えた「調理の文法書」です。何を料理するかではなく、いかに食材と対話するかという本質に迫り、基礎という名の揺るぎない自信を授けます。精緻な技術論が、家庭の台所を最高峰の学び舎へと変貌させる、著者の情熱が結晶化した至高のマスタークラスです。 PBSの同名番組との相乗効果も絶大です。映像が実演の躍動を伝える一方、書籍は一瞬の動作を詳細な写真と文章で永遠に留め、深い思索を促します。視覚的な感銘と論理的な理解が溶け合うこの往復書簡のような体験こそが、料理を芸術へと昇華させるのです。
