On Cooking: A Textbook of Culinary Fundamentals (6th Edition), Without Access Code (What's New in Culinary & Hospitality) 6th Edition

I'm a good cook enrolled in a baking boot camp in California and this is the text that the school required for culinary classes. I have a collection of other cooking school books but having had a look at On Cooking, I will be retiring the others. Yes, it is expensive, but having started to cook through it, is is absolutely worth it. On Cooking is accurate, VERY well organized, smartly illustrated, thoughtfully researched, carefully presented and the recipes are really good. It's not faddish, but it is current , it is extremely practical but not dull. Bonus points for sensitively covering special diets in a very encouraging way. Like everyone else who cooks I have far too many books but this one is staying in easy reach.The only downsides are 1) it's heavy, almost 1200 pp and 2) the pages are glossy and a bit reflective for the places where I am studying. The plusses to this are 1) it's 1200 pp of truly excellent information, very well bound, and 2) the pages are less absorbent if they do end up in the kitchen.Extra plus bonus points - my young adult kids have caught my excitement and are signing up for classes that will require this book so I expect we will eat tremendously well this year.Wish me luck on my exam tomorrow!

My son had to have this for his culinary class. I WILL be buying my own copy, there are amazing recipes in here and a lot of interesting descriptions.Amazon's price was $45 less than the college bookstore.Awesome!

was suppose to purchase this book for my culinary arts classes at school but the price was too much so decided to go with the amazon one and l really like it .Get it its the best book to have.I got a new friend

As a young chef, this book gives insight to the many cooking techniques out there, as well as the vast types of cuisine’s.

Best cook book around. I used this for a college level cooking class. I love it so much I would be selling the book. It explains so much and makes so cooking a lot easier than you think it is. I would buy again.

My school charges 226 for this book. This is a charge on top of buying a full uniform and a knife kit. Thankfully I already had my knife kit and uniform. This price was sm better than them. Mine also came with notes pre written in them. So that was nice

Works well

I rented this book for my culinary art classes. It is really a good book so now I'm going to have to purchase it for personal you use. It explains everything simply and has a picture of what the recipe should look like when finished.
