Great Book!!!
Great book with great insights and recipes. Of course I had to buy it for school but still I enjoyed the book a lot!!!
The hows and whys on soups, salad and sandwiches
.
This is another great TEXT from the CIA. As with all good textbooks, the focus is on the how and why rather than on the what. The recipes are to illustrate lesson points rather than be the focus of the book.
If you want to improve you cold kitchen skills, buy Garde Manger, The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen.
Excellent base book
This publication provides a broad range of basic and advanced techniques for the cold kitchen. We used Garde Manger, The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen in the culinary arts program at the college I attend and I have made many of the recipe's successfully. I withheld one star because I found that universally the recipe's lack proper seasoning. It's a great book for anyone needing real working recipe's and techniques for salads, dressings, hors d hovres, canapes, taurine, sausage making, smoking, and other detail cold kitchen work.
Had to Have It
While I attended The Illinois Institute of Culinary Arts, Garde Manger, The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen was required for our Garde Manger class.
During the time I attended school, I was unable to purchase the book, and had to reserve it from my local library.
I was most delighted when I found it on Amazon.com, and I highly recommend it for schools, personal use etc.
The book was in excellent condition and arrived much faster than I had anticipated.
Sincerely,

Garde Manger
I recently completed my 4th Quarter as a Culinary Student at the Art Institute. Using the book "Garde Manger, The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen" was great text used in our course of Garde Manger. The recipes easy to understand and the outcome of each dish had great results. Garde Manger, The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen is a great addition to my library as i will refer back to it frequently.
