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.

This book clears up the math questions for all levels of preparing foods. From the diference in dry measure to liquid measure to getting the quantities right for the number of guests you are feeding. Bravo!!

This is what I've been waiting for. For those of us who aren't too good with numbers and measurements (foodservice math), this is a god-send. It's got great information and it makes the whole subject of "culinary math" reasonable and understandable.

I am a Chef Instructor and this book is been very helpfull. It is very complete from the measurements to the cost control and is easy to understand.

For those in the food trade or those who are learning the food trade, Culinary Math has a lot to offer. It is a refresher on on conversions, costing, metric, and much more. This book focuses on they types of math needed to build a standard recipe, convert a recipe, work out total costs and more. As much a workbook as a math text, the exercises are useful in setting these mathematical principles into your mind and is a good preparatory for on line certification in cost control. For those people who have been out of school for awhile and those who are weak in math, this book will be a tremendous help.

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.

everyone can use a good math review. this goes over anything you would need to know and it is very easy to read and reference. this is a very basic book and does have some conversion charts that are helpful.

This book is a great book for people that need to know food math. I think this is great. The only downfall I have with it is that they only give certain answers to them and not all. But I am sure one could figure them out.

I recommend it.

This was a text book for school and it was very helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to bake or cook.

I start culinary school in the fall and I haven't been to school in a long time. It was a great refresher for my brain and math skills.
