Culinary School: How to Talk Like a Chef

â‚¬Å“The most obvious advantage of a culinary education is that from now on, chefs wonâ‚¬t have to take time out of their busy day to explain to you what a fucking â‚¬Ëœbrunoiseâ‚¬ is.â‚¬Â

Anthony Bourdain
"Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook"
______

This is the language of the restaurant. Not just the words and phrases youâ‚¬ll find in a culinary dictionary, but also the slang, the jargon, and even the abbreviations used by chefs and cooks, maitre dâ‚¬s and servers in real restaurants, every day.

Youâ‚¬ll learn what a chef means when they snap, â‚¬Å“Two beef for the deuce, one still mooing, one cremated, 86 the fries, and fire the chops for the VIPs at the four-top, extra jus.â‚¬Â Youâ‚¬ll know what to do if you are asked to â‚¬Å“Fill a two-quart Cambro with a brunoise of carrots then calculate its EP weight.â‚¬Â And youâ‚¬ll know what is expected if you are told to â‚¬Å“Grab the rondeau, par cook the potatoes, then put them on a sheet pan in the lowboy.â‚¬Â

Created by the professionals who live and breathe restaurants, this is the only book that will teach you everything from the French cooking terminology to the industry slang every cook must know to survive. And when you are done, youâ‚¬ll be able to speak, and understand, the secret language of the chef.
