An excellent educational tool!!

This book was exactly what I needed after being out of the catering sales business for a few years. It covers it all! I would definitely reccommend!!

Wonderful book!

I had to buy this book to study for a catering certification test, and I was anticipating a dull, dry rehash of things I already knew after 5 years as a caterer. But, I was pleasantly surprised. It is written in a most readable manner, and I learned so much I didn't know, which makes me so much more professional. I recommend it highly.

Great!

This is a great reference book. I have been in catering for 15 years, and there is a lot of stuff in this book I never knew!
