Definitely pretentious!!! But I give him points for trying

Nope. He's working from a French cookbook, written in French. He's referencing methods, techniques, ingredients in French as a result. Not pretentious.

The word "interpretate" was 'made-up' much in the same way as all of the words in my current sentence. Interpretate predates "interpret" by quite a long time - in fact, rather than not being a real word, interpretate is the predecessor to interpret. It's considered archaic now, but it's very much a real word. "Archaic" is an interesting status though. Did you know that "axe" is the archaic spelling of "ax"? Yet most people use the former still anyway.

Sometimes I learn the best lesson from your throw-away lines: under the ground (root veg) start in COLD water. I will remember that!

[@Aurirang]

In all honesty.. i start all veggies in cold water.. Maybe i should change that.

[@kaldo_kaldo]

The 'what' is nice to know, but the 'why' is more important. The reason why you start roots in cold water is because they are very dense. Any dense fruit or vegetable that you are cooking, you should start in cold water, otherwise they will overcook on the outside before they are done on the inside. What this looks like with potatoes is that the outside of the potato will be falling apart, and the inside is hard.

The book was cooked by August Escoffier, one of the creators of the brigade style of kitchen hierarchy in classical French kitchens. The size of the chef's hat was a signal of rank in the kitchen. He is one of the pre-eminent names in chef history and many of the techniques he originated are still in use today. And yes, this book is for people that are already skilled chefs, and assumes that you know the techniques needed to make all the elements of every dish.
