Today while at the library, I chanced upon this book by Le Cordon Bleu, the complete cooking-step by step. The book was such a find that despite it being super huge and bulky and even though I had to lug it around with me as I wasn't going home yet, I just simply had to borrow it. Le Cordon Bleu is a famous culinary Institute in Paris, but it now has schools in London, Tokyo, Sydney and America as well. If I have ever a chance in future, I wish I can take some courses there. This is, of course, but a dream.

I borrowed the book at first, thinking of just looking through the endless recipes and the pictures and marvel at the wonder of cooking and baking. Haven't you ever been amazed at how different ingredients can be combined together to create the most amazing of dishes. Complete with the calorific content of the food, filled with step by step instructions on how to prepare each dish, and with almost all kind of dishes. However, there are just simply so many recipes that I wish I can copy all of them, which is kind of impossible. I so wish that I can buy this book, but I know for sure I won't, at least for now as my estimation for the price of the book is at least $100(I think). And since I won't be doing any cooking for quite some time to come(mum being queen of the kitchen and staying put), I shall just be contented with baking, looking at cookbooks, enjoying food in restaurants and looking at the food at my workplace..hee

Talking about cookbooks, I don't even have a single baking book to my name..except for a Betty Crocker's book that I photocopied(shhh). But come think of it, I have yet to use a single recipe from there..hahah..
