Book Reviews of The Professional Chef's Knife Kit
Book Review: Informative
Summary: 4 Stars
I just wanted to comment based on the previous reviewer. I'd say about 90-95% of the information in this book is in The Professional Chef 8th Edition, so if you own it, it's not worth purchasing this book. The P.C. 8th Edition explains all these cuts based on the chapter you're reading. It's not all located in one section. Perhaps the reviewer "Absolutely Essential" has not completely read P.C. yet.Book Review: Great Reference Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is exactly what I wanted; a self-study guide on how to use a knife correctly. I am an amateur chef and I found the guide to be easy to understand, had good photos, and had a depth of information. An added bonus is the size of the book. It is large enough for all the information you need, without being huge and difficult to flip through.Book Review: Cool Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
This book quite good or so dare I say. I was educated on several aspects of cooking and cutting that I took for granted and was unaware off. It gives you just enough information to be dangerous. In truth, it is a fun book and it has helped me prepare some clever dishes. This book was given to me as a gift and it definitely is cool to be sure.Book Review: The Chef is only as good as his knifes!
Summary: 5 Stars
What good is it to try cooking if you don't even have a good set of knifes? This book will help its readers understand the different kinds of knife that professional chefs use and how to properly use them. If you are interested in cooking I highly recommend this book along with hundreds of Culinary Institute students who use it as well!!!!!Book Review: Basic and Advanced Knife Skills
Summary: 4 Stars
Paperback binding not withstanding, this book is highly informative, with many, many pictures detailing not only knifes, but how to use them. Advanced knife cuts are covered. Do you know how to tourner a carrot, or flute a mushroom? Get this book to find out how to do these and much, much more.
