Used Book in Good Condition
I agree. I have a book called "The Science of Good Food" that has been indispensible in teaching me about the fundamental principles of cooking. I cannot recommend the book enough (thus, the Amazon link)
I have http://www.amazon.com/Science-Good-Food-Ultimate-Reference/dp/0778801896/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269548718&sr=8-1 which is pretty neat. It explains what different foods are and what happens when you cook them in different ways. I can't compare it to that other one, but you may enjoy this one as well.
Only a little while, but it's my dream to be a chef [small-time, I'm not overly ambitious. I just want a small bistro!] one day. I started to work work just last year, but I've been doing personal studying for almost three years now.
As Ken Dryden said it - you need to spend more time just playing around with your choice of profession and just spending some off time in trying to do stuff, and seeing what works. Whenever I have time, I mess around with recipes and techniques, so I've learned a lot. Also, someone gave me this one year, and this thing has been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
