Summary:  "Louis Eguaras, a renowned chef at the Le Cordon Bleu Program at the California School of Culinary Arts, provides readers with a terrific overview of what is truly involved in the preparation, cooking, and presentation of meals. He also provides invaluable insights into just what is involved in making this one's chosen profession.

The book will be presented in the distinctive and highly-attractive packaged style of 101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL, and will be the perfect gift for anyone who is thinking about entering culinary school, is already enrolled, or even just the casual chef."

This is my review/giveaway of the book 101 Things I Learned in Culinary School. This is a great book for foodies and chefs alike.  Even if you are culinarily challenged you will get tons of info out of this book.  It starts with the basics such as the different types of pans: skillet, saute, sauce pan.  It explains why you only need 5 different knifes and that 90% of the time you will probably only use one of the 5.

It goes onto the different types of sauces: white sauce, bolognese, pesto.  And they are differnent and basic ways to make them. It discusses tools that are important (meat thermometer) and those that are not necessary.  It is a very quick and easy read and you get so much information out of a little volume.

Author Interview: Cheryl Snell

Here are some questions I asked Cheryl Snell author of Shiva's Arms Where are you from? Alberta, Canada, eh. When did you first consider yourself a writer? When I published a poem in an excellent journal whose rep dwarfed my previous publications What inspired you to write your first book? Inspiration didn’t enter in. I had published about 65 poems and a few stories in lit journals and the logical next step was to put together a collection of poetry. Do you have a specific writing style? I write in a lyric narrative style. A critic/professor recently said I was an American surrealist. I like that. How did you come up with the title, Shiva’s Arms? It came to me when I was at McDonald’s with my Mom one day. It had all the elements I needed, incorporating the Hindu god of creation AND destruction, comparing that entity to Amma (who did plenty of C&D herself). All the god’s arms reminded me of Amma’s push-pull with Alice. Is there a message in Shiva’s Arms that yo
