Book Reviews of The Professional Chef

Book Review: Everything any Chef needs to know.
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is everything any Chef serious cook or an aspiring chef needs to know. It is the foundation of all cooking techniques and a study of ingredients. The greats use it an refer to it over the years. Every executive chef I ever worked for owned it as well as me. I gave my old copy to a young person who wanted to be a chef but needed a foundational build back ground.

Book Review: Not for just the Professional
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book after purchasing a book for my son who is learning to cook. It was so informative and user friendly I had to have a copy for myself. It begins with the basics and is extremely informative. This book will be a family heirloom going from one generation to another. The greatest reference book for the kitchen I have ever purchased.

Book Review: Well worth the Investment
Summary: 5 Stars

I was uncertain if I should spend this much money on a cook book, eventhough it was half off the regular price, and it was well worth the investment! It will be a cook book that I will have for ever. It not only has fantastic receipe's but it also teaches you techniques and about certain foods. You will be thankful if you purchase it too.

Book Review: The Professional Chef is Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars

The Professional Chef is the book to have if you want to know anything about the Kitchen and Cooking. This book is visually exciting, well organized, great glossary, and indexed (two indexes: Subject and Recipe). It has gone beyond my expectation with needed information and learning. You will like The Professional Chef... I love it!

Book Review: Worth the Price and Technical Focus
Summary: 4 Stars

Excellent book. I don't get to cook often, but I love it and the science behind it. This book is everything and more you would every need to know for any cooking endeavor. Yes, it is very technically oriented, and the measurements are in awkward amounts, but the awe-inspiring content and recipes makes it a worth-while investment.
