Customer Review: James Peterson is a brilant read in the culinary field. his experiences are read through almost all his books. My favorite is "sauces". Top knotch. He lived and did these sauces up and to the five mother sauces. It is good reads until you have kids, but still usable as a mom!

No, I am not an "advanced" (or even intermediate) cook. I can turn out a decent meal, however, and cooked for myself, as a bachelor, for years. But, in the couple... more info
Customer Review: For those of us who would like to learn and master concepts of Linear Algebra and Differential Equations without too much useless theories, this book is for you. Teaches all concepts well, many examples and good explanations. Also really light!!!
