Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"The Culinary Institute of America has done it again. Both contemporary and comprehensive, this is a book no professional should be without. It should be worn-in quickly!"
–Waldy Malouf
Chef/Owner, Beacon Restaurant, Bar & Bakery

"True to form, The Culinary Institute of America has taken the complex and somewhat elusive discipline of garde manger and presented it in a comprehensive, clear, and very usable reference that pushes the standard of learning far ahead of any other current text on the subject."
–David Kellaway
Executive Chef, Mandalay Bay

"The practical approach of Garde Manger brings a contemporary perspective to the art and craft of the cold kitchen. It is a valuable asset to any culinarian."
–Rudy Speckamp
Chef/Owner, Rudy’s 2900

"Garde Manger emphasizes the true art of the cold kitchen and how it is adapted to today’s current trends in cuisine. The recipes give the chef a base to build upon and use to express his own creativity in a successful and tasteful manner."
–Kenneth Juran

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent base book, January 18, 2007

This review is from: Garde Manger, The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen (Hardcover)
This publication provides a broad range of basic and advanced techniques for the cold kitchen. We used this book 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.

This review is from: Garde Manger, The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen (Hardcover)
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. This book is a great addition to my library as i will refer back to it frequently.

.

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 this book.
