Summary: Lots of healthy recipes
Review: I love this book. I am an vegetarian and looking for this type of book for a long time. I am studying to become a chef, but want to do healthy cooking. I want to study baking also, so I purchased the Study Guide for Baking and Advanced Baking by P. Leonardi, which has the type of questions that will help you especially since I am not the greatest baker. The Study Guide for the National Servsafe Exam: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations is also extremely helpful in and out of the kitchen.

Summary: An Important Reference for the Healthy Kitchen
Review: The wealth of information contained in The Professional Chef's Techniques of Healthy Cooking is "must have" for the dedicated healthy kitchen. Each topic is fully discussed, and a full set of appendices offers quick access to a variety of nutritional and food prep tables. Recipes included in the book prepare large volumes of food in most cases, but they provide good general guidelines, cooking techniques and ideas for the creative cook. First rate photography illustrates the versatility of a healthy diet and adds considerably to the volume's visual appeal. The comprehensive information in this beautiful book is the perfect "go to" reference -- I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Summary: Healthy Cooking Education
Review: This book contains an incredible amount of excellent information. It contains everything you need to know for an education in healthy cooking techniques. There are excellent photographs. The recipes are very well explained and each recipe contains a nutritional analysis. Although a basic knowledge of cooking would be helpful for alot of the recipes, a novice cook who is very focused should be able to get quite a bit out of the book.

Summary: Good for the talented amateur chef
Review: This book provides a number of helpful suggestions for the knowledgeable amateur who is interested in learning healthier techniques, (ie - poach carrots in orange juice and ginger). The "background" on nutrition, however, is rather elementary.
