"  The Professional Chef, the cookbook published by the Culinary Institute of America is a classic, used by students of the university and avid home cooks alike. It was recently released on Inkling, a program that allows you to use the book on the iPad, and it might just change the way you think about cookbooks forever. When I was first learning to cook, I&amp;#039;d spend hours online watching videos that demonstrated everything from cutting carrots into a perfect brunoise (an eighth of an inch cubic dice) to roasting bell peppers on a gas burner. But when I actually got in the kitchen, I&amp;#039;d often find myself forgetting some critical element or technique halfway through a recipe. Enter The Professional Chef for the iPad. In addition to containing hundreds of recipes from the original hardcover cookbook, it&amp;#039;s loaded with rich images, embedded videos, and illustrations of every technique you could possibly need. Plus you can flip between chapters and recipes with the flick of a finger. What&amp;#039;s even nicer: Each recipe has links to master recipes for ingredients like chicken stock or mirepoix and even to relevant techniques, so if you&amp;#039;re prepping lentil soup and forget how to properly puree it after cooking, the recipe can take you to a short video that demonstrates how to press ingredients through a food mill.   Plus the digital version sells for only $49.99, well below the list price of $75 for the hardcover version in paper. Individual chapters are also available for only $2.99. If you&amp;#039;re a purist and not sure you&amp;#039;re ready to commit to a digital cookbook, you can download Inkling and a sample chapter (soups) for free from Inkling&amp;#039;s homepage. It also makes a wonderful gift for a serious cook looking to learn the proper techniques.  Ready to totally embrace the world of digital cookbooks?
