Understanding Food: Principles and Preparation

Not what I expected, but interesting.I wanted more straight forward table and charts and chemical analysis on food science to be used as a reference. This is not that. This is more a read cover to cover and you can find most of the information you want but you'd have to sift through the chapters. It is geared toward a student who needs the overview mainly. Don't get me wrong, it does explain things, I just wanted an X=XYZ (tables and measures) quick reference type of book. It has useful information about cost analysis if you're running a business- I am not. It's interesting and I skim it when I have time, but it's not in my reference section of cook books.I gave it 5 stars simply because it was as described, it is interesting as a non-student, and I'm sure more basic valuable to a first year culinary student or someone in a food business.

I ordered this book to use for my nutritional class

Was not sure what to expect as this was first course I have attended in food preparation. A good book for principles.

this is a basic food science book, used for a course I'm taking. as a nutrition student I'm not finding it very useful, but if I was really interested in food science I'd probably love it. It's not a book I plan to keep on my shelf.

Great information but not enough color pages

Truly a fantastic text book that is easy to read and informative. It draws parallels from the actual topic to nutrition.

I rented to back for my Food Science class and it was in perfect condition! I used it often and it had very good information from which I learned a lot!

Helpful book!
