I recently took a class and this was the textbook that we used, also I wanted to raise the ratings from the 1 star ratings of people who were unhappy with 3rd party sellers and lowered the average for this book unnecessarily.

It's full of information about what nutrients do what, and has a lot on calories and how many servings of each nutrient you need for a certain number of calories. For example, you need 2 cups of vegetable per day for a certain amount of calories. I actually lost 20 pounds by following the guidelines for 2000 and 1500 calorie diets. It also goes into detail about food allergies, and even has some recipes in the back to make healthier versions of traditional recipes.

I was assigned this text in my nutrition class in culinary school. The book was a joy to read because it was fun and easy to read. I really liked the section on vitamins and food sources of each vitamin. However, if you really want to know the type of questions asked in nutrition class in culinary school get the following. "Nutrtion Study Guide for Food Service and Culinary Professionals: Key Review Questions and Answers by Melissa Heilman. The isbn of this book is 1933023058. This book is right on with the type of questions that I accounted on my tests. With the help of these two books getting an "A" was quite easy.

This book is just as expected. It was in excellent condition. It has all the information that I needed for my class. I'll keep it to use it as reference for the future.

My teacher did not recommend this, but I was glad I got it. It is a great review with the book, and I would say 90% of the material from the tests I took was included in the review sections and many of the test questions were in practice quizzes. Of course every class and teacher is different, so I can only vouch for me. I got an A on every test though, and I could not have done it without this study guide. It has lots of practice tests and assignments for every chapter that aid in learning the material.

The book came in like new condition was shipped timely and at a good price what more can I ask. Thanks

Very knowledgable book on nutrition including information for children and older adults. As a culinary professional I wanted to read up on the latest nutrition especially on soy and to improve my diet. I am also considering taking some courses, one of them is Sanitation. The Study Guide for the National Servsafe Exam by Dr. Leonardi was a book I found also very knowledgable and I am certain that it will help me with my exam once I decide when to take it.

This is a good book for Culinary professionals, because it provides alternate options for making healthy recipes and menu development. Helpful information once you get past the scientific information is the first 7 chapters.

I recommend for anyone to use this workbook if you are trying to watch, lose, or maintain your weight.

I am using this textbook for my Nutrition class at the International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. It makes class so much easier for me. The instructor speeds through the lessons and luckily for us all she uses the text as her guide. Without it, I would not continue to be a top student.

The Food Service is each day an wide open door for nutritionists. This book in particular is very helpfull on understanding the basic and advanced qualities needed for a professional acting in this area.
