Great reference book, a must for any serous or curious cook, especially if you entertain or consider the food industry a possible career path.
 Great book! August 19, 2009

Considering the fact that I will be starting culinary school in a few weeks, this book was a great buy! I didn't realize how rusty I was with basic math until I started reading. This book is also great because it builds on each chapter plus the practice problems are very helpful. My only complaint is that the book only has answers to odd-numbered questions - would have loved answers to all the questions. I definitely recommend this book for someone who is pursuing a degree in culinary arts or someone who is in the food service industry and needs a refresher.

I think that this book definitely has some good knowledge for Culinary Math. It is quite cumbersome, though, because it gives you too many practice problems. If they cut down on the practice problems, I think this book would be better.

I'm a culinary student and found this book very helpful for converting units into metric units. It helped me with my baking class because it showed how to convert measurements properly and with great accuracy. I also used the following to study for the National Servsafe Test which is also on amazon.com:
Study Guide for the National Servsafe Exam: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (ISBN: 0971999678). It showed me the type of questions asked on the exam. In addition, was quite helpful for my sanitation class. Get both books if you're in culinary school.
