5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on the subject I've found!, November 24, 2003
By A Customer
I am a chef getting ready to start my own restaurant/catering business. After reading this easy to understand, well-written book, I am confident in my knowledge of the math I will need to succeed. Glad someone took the time to share such useful information.

I hate math and am trying to get ready for Culinary School in March so I have been reading everything I can get my hands on to help. This is a very simple book, with easy to understand examples.
