A must for the aspiring chef/restauranteur
This book is excellent and came recommended to me by a chef. According to the chef, this is the exact book used to train chefs at a prestigious restaurant training school in New York. There is so much information in this book and the book covers several elements of cooking/baking/prep etc. that an aspiring chef or restauranteur would need. I have already expanded my culinary skills and recipe creation from ideas/skills and techniques from this book. Highly recommend.

Chef bible
The professional chef book has been what I have been expecting, well explained in detail. Personally have also the 8th edition, this book is better explained, new recipes, and will buy the 9th edition to compare all 3. To all those who are studying culinary, is good to have them.

Fel företåg föt att lägga leverans
Leveranstiderna som företaget erbjuder är otroliga! Jag är kock, och häromkvällen var jag mitt uppe i en matservering när chauffören försökte kontakta mig för att leverera mitt paket! Det vill jag inte! Jag föredrar upphämtningsställen! Om Amazon ska fortsätta arbeta med de leveranstiderna kommer jag aldrig att handla från dem igen! De ringde till och med min son för att leverera ett paket och sa att de var vid entrén. Han var på jobbet och bad mig hämta hans paket. Jag låg redan i sängen, och det tog mig fem minuter att komma ner till entrén, och när jag kom dit var chauffören redan på väg att gå! Jag tycker att om de inte kan anställa ansvarsfull personal kan de lika gärna stänga!

Not as expected
Not very helpful if your trying to understand fundamentals or establish a general base in culinary arts. This reads more like a reference book in part or instructional. Health and sanitation sections are solid.
