The book primarily introduces the basic cooking methods for fish, shrimp, and shellfish in French cuisine, as well as various sauces widely used in French cooking. In Japan, French cuisine is often prepared using Japanese ingredients, so this book also focuses on the preparation of these materials. With years of experience in teaching culinary arts, we frequently encounter students' confusion and identify the key reasons for their repeated failures in cooking. Through accumulated experience, when guiding students in preparing dishes, we often explain these critical points in advance, providing clear and concise answers to their questions and demonstrating the correct techniques. By applying these fundamental theories effectively, it will also greatly benefit the preparation of other dishes.
Of course, mastering basic cooking techniques is crucial. One of the purposes of this book is to help readers truly grasp the fundamental theories and skills of cooking, which is why it introduces many basic recipes, including some slightly more advanced ones. Only by mastering the basics can one advance to a higher level and create new variations. High-level dishes are often derived from basic recipes, such as changing the combination and pairing of ingredients or modifying the preparation of sauces, gradually transforming the basic recipes into new dishes. In their daily work, chefs continuously refine their skills and creativity, tasting and developing new flavors, ultimately creating unique dishes, the joy and satisfaction of which are undeniable.
One can say that culinary arts is a special profession. Even when using the same ingredients to prepare the same dish, the taste can vary due to the chef's individual characteristics. This is both the brilliance of culinary art and also an indication that talent plays a significant role in becoming an outstanding chef.
