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.

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.

Teaches basics, it's like a textbook. Useful information that comes with pictures. It's definitely a worth investment for chefs like myself.

While I attended The Illinois Institute of Culinary Arts, this book 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.

As there are not many available titles on the subject of Garde Manger specifically this is a good starter book. I wish it would have gone into more depth however.

Great book with great insights and recipes. Of course I had to buy it for school but still I enjoyed the book a lot!!!

I have really benefitted from this book. It was an excellent value for the money.

The book arrive fast, the problem is your company change my shipping address. It took me two extra day to reiceve it. I was lucky tobe able to pick it up two hours before my class
