2.0 out of 5 stars not worth even half the price, February 6, 2005
This author doesn't do a very good job of explaining concepts, and does not give enough examples. When you convert a recipe to a larger number of servings and end up with 2.9375 cups of something, would you really measure 2-15/16 cups of something? Would the average food service student know whether to convert that to ounces, or even how to convert a decimal to a fraction? Even my instructor hates this book and is looking for a replacement. I wouldn't be so bitter if I had only paid $5, which is what this book is really worth!

3.0 out of 5 stars Required for an OSU course, August 1, 2002
By A Customer
I had to buy this book for an OSU Hotel and Restaurant course.
The book does have good measurement charts but not enough examples.
