Leiths Techniques Bible is the ultimate cookery reference book. Here is all the information taught during the year-long diploma course at Leith's School of Food and Wine. Learn how to prepare meat and fish, make perfect pastry and bread, as well as equip a kitchen. Understand what makes recipes work and what has happened when they haven't. With answers to every cookery question—from how to make perfect mashed potatoes to making a spun sugar cage—this is an indispensable book for everyone from the novice cook to the experienced chef.

I did my professional cookery training at Leiths cookery school in west London. This was the book we learned our classic techniques from. It’s incredibly user-friendly and helpfully tells you why things might have gone wrong.
