The Professional Chef

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.

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.

This book covers A to Z of culinary techniques.You should have this book.If you start to work hotel setting kitchen.If you need formal education but you start to work for hotel this book is your friend.One review says this book paper is thin but it is not really thin.I have seen old edition at book store but this version shows more details of process with pictures.This edition is well organized with step by step pictures.This book tells you how to fix from failure too.

I love this book, it’s easy to understand and have plenty of pictures to portray step by step what needs to be done to archive the final result. This is perfect for the new student or for those that have a photographic memory.

My son has a keen interest in cooking. I have had dinner at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park NY about 25 years ago and it was phenomenal. This was their text book for upcoming chefs. Not sure if it is anymore, but it is absolutely worth purchasing.

The best cookbook. I’m recommending

I am a home cook who loves to understand the whats and whys of cooking so I have the confidence to make my own recipes. This book does that and more. If you want to start a business this book will help there as well.

Super thin pages and not written in a cookbook-style. Probably should have opted for the previous version. Don’t really like the textbook presentation (things are hard to find and hard to read) and the pages are thinner than those in a bible. Just wow.
