Product Description

Review

Practical Cookery 10th Edition will be the ultimate "must-have" buy for all young cooks and chefs alike. (Michel Roux, OBE(HON), CMA, CONM, (CMOF, 76) )

As each edition arrives it gets better and better - It is like a good wine, getting better with age. (Mr C Withers, Gateshead College, UK )

Practical Cookery is the one and only piece of equipment a catering student can't do without.

(Barry Gregory, Chief Lecturer, Halesowen College, West Midlands )

'Well researched and written in relation to City & Guilds NVQ standards...'

(Chris Ward, Thurrock & Basildon College )

Michel Roux, OBE(HON), CMA, CONM, (CMOF, 76)

Good for blokes 16 May 2003
Format:Hardcover
This book is great because it gives step by step instructions for every dish. A great plus is that it's obvious all the recipes have been tried out (many cookery books are merely copied from others). This book is used to teach cookery in colleges so anyone should be able to follow it. I borrowed a copy from the head Chef at the four star Polurrian Hotel in Cornwall, where it's used for preparing those set meals served in hotels.

By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Have used this book as a catering manager and as a teacher teaching GCSE Catering. It provides an insight into the expectations of the catering industry and the colour plates give a range of hints for presentation and serving.

Major criticism is that it can be difficult to find particular recipes.

This is an outstanding reference book in the feild of food preparation. It is a straight forward, well explained guide to the necessary recipes which are needed for NVQ work. It is also a well thought out recipe book of timeless use in a working kitchen & will stand any student or professional in an exellent grounding for the tasks they must perform.
