A primer unlike competitors on the market
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
PURCHASING FOR CHEFS: A CONCISE GUIDE is a primer unlike competitors on the market: it's directed to busy chefs and avoids the usual theory approach of culinary purchasing guides in favor of a practical quick primer with directions which can be put quickly into place. The assumption that the reader is a busy working chef is solid, and pairs realistic kitchen situations with easy explanations of purchasing basics, terminology, and applications. From buying clubs to reduce costs to vendor selection criteria, PURCHASING FOR CHEFS holds many answers without the verbose structure of others. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
