What a book!!!!!!!
I bought the practical cookery & theory of catering at great expense, had I known this book was coming it would have been top of my list.
It is packed full of information, pictures, recipes that work & tests.
I feel confidentin using this book to develop my knowledge & skills
A Massive Read! - By: Emma Shreeves, 06 Jul 2007 
I have begun to use this book for my studies to be a professional chef & wish that I had used this book throughout the whole year. It's massive & packed with useful & informative tips & theory information. This is easily the best cookery book that I've seen because it's easy to read, up to date & has bright, colour images showing the reader exactly how to use certain preparation techniques. I especially like the tip & health & safety boxes down the sides of each page.

Breathtaking - By: Susan Wallace, 14 Jun 2007 
I have just come to the end of my level 1 NVQ coursein cooking & have been struggling to use the old text books.
This new book which I have just recieved will be of great use for my studies next year & I have started to cook the dishes at home.
The poached halibut & cherry tomato confit is really tasty & looks exactly like the picturesin the book.
