Building on the success of On Cooking, 4th edition, the To Go version was inspired by the expressed desire of many users for a text that combines portability with meaningful integration of technology.  On Cooking To Go Edition retains all of the instructional in-chapter recipes from the fourth edition; the end-of –chapter recipes have been migrated from the printed book to the Web via  i-COOK  , a robust web-based recipe management system.  This reduced page count provides a more streamlined and portable book.  MyCulinaryLab™, our powerful new technology solution, is available for a package option. It does not come packaged with this isbn.  MyCulinaryLab™ enables students to study and master content online – in their own time, and at their own pace.  Performance is based on summative and formative (study plans, homework, extra practice, pre- and post-tests, etc) assessment in the form of rich media and a personalized study plans tied to specific learning outcomes.
