Review:

"...The best version yet...The book is well laid-out and user-friendly, particularly in its new sections on core units, healthy eating, ethnic dishes and the use of convenience foods...The book encourages students to think about their subject - it is a reference point for recipes and a useful
research tool." Caterer and Hotelkeeper
