Summary: Very good for culinary students
Review: I used this book in my culinary school and found it to be quite good. It has wonderful introductory knowledge in hot food and great recipes. I also used it to study for the American Federation Certification test. I also highly recommend the following which is on amazon.

The second book was highly effective in helping me and my class pass the National Servsafe Exam. I give each book five stars.
