Mr C Withers, Gateshead College, UK
As each edition arrives it gets better and better - It is like a good wine, getting better with age. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

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 ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for blokes, 16 May 2003
This review is from: Practical Cookery (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book that covers all the basics, 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical Cookery (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.
