I bought one of these just for making osso buco. I found myself using it for a lot more than just that. I make tomato sauce in it, chili, any excuse I have to bust it out, I do. I absolutely...

One of my first internet knives. Great blade. I mean *great* but the handle was a bit weird. Right now it just sits at the bottom of my knife kit.

I've owned one of these for over 3 years now, using it daily. I've never had to sharpen (grind) it, just an occasional run along a fine steel, and it's held a wonderful edge for everyday prep....

Hello Mariaclara, and welcome to Chef Talk. Since you're a culinary student, I'll recommend you try our Culinary Students' forum. There you'll find others who are training for culinary and pastry. Some may have the books you seek. Have your instructors recommended some books?

Welcome Mariaclara,
I am new here as well. I figured the best way to make new friends was to get posting. This site is full of friendly, informative people. I think it is wonderful that you are in Culinary school. What school are you going to? Hmmm about books... well, I recommend the two text books by the CIA; The Professional Chef, and Baking and Pastry. Right now you can pick them up for a really good price on Amazon. What are your current text books?
Good luck in school. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
