Garde Manger: The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen, 4th Edition [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

This is a terrific book--comprehensive, detailed recipes and excellent photos. It is a heavy, substantial hardcover text. Unfortunately due to it being so heavy, the book seems to have shifted during shipping so the corners are bent and banged up. This has happened with a few of the heavy books I order, so I think it is something that happens naturally. My copy had air packing pillows on one side so I that is why damage was only on the other side. However, I saved so much money compared to a bookstore that I am ok with the damage. It is a little ugly but I got an excellent book at an excellent price. If I had paid close to bookstore price than I would have returned it, hoping for another. Overall, very pleased with purchase.

It will open an entirely new world to you -- or most of you. One spoonful of any of their cold soups and you will want to go to heaven right a way. The recipes are all scaled to the professional chef, of course, but can be scaled down. Output is 100% DELICIOUS and so abundant. Literally, your bookshelf should NOT be without this gem.

Ive seen chicken necks walking in the streets, just watch them heads swivel, gota get that Corn, keep on scratching my bird people keep on scratching.

I love every one of the books produced by the CIA. They are a treasure trove of tips and tricks which you don't get from watching recipy videos on the web. I love this book, it has been very helpful to me as I've been learning to cook.

I’m not a chef but my daughter is she asked for this book and she loves it so the only thing I can tell you is she loves it I will give it five stars and apparently it must give her what she needs

Very well written and worth the price.

This is a must have for the chef in your life. The book goes into depth how to make and present Hors d oeuvres and cold foods. I got it for a class, and have made some of the recipes and they worked out very well. I would recomend this to anyone who likes to entertain

An excellent text and addition to my professional library

A really in depth look in to a subject only given scant treatment in loads of books. Quantiies have to be adjusted as many are for the professional kitchen but the overwhelming majority are easily adapted for home use.It's made me buy the Dessert and Baking books from the same range.

This book is extremely helpful for the cold kitchen, it goes into enough detail to be able to understand the use of ingredients properly without waffling. It is a comprehensive book covering all the traditional cold food offerings in a professional manner.

love this book. CIA is one of the best school in the world. That says everything!!!

very good

A truly excellent book.
