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.

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.

This book I had to use at college every day for four years, and I still use now every day at work the best,and most easy to use catering book I have ever used. Is also good even if you don't work or are training to work in the trade and just want a good basic cookery book to use at home.

The book is not suitable for absolute beginners as there are specific terms. The coking temperature or the cooking time are not available with all recepies. Excellent guide for those doing Professional Cookery or similar courses.

Didn't realise it wasn't new!
This is a good book. Really like that it explains things for people who aren't too sure! It doesn't assume you know; and takes time to explain.
