Ktichen Math 101
I'm not really sure how to rate this because it does do what it says it will, I suppose, but it isn't at all what I was looking for. I own a restaurant and have come up with my own guidelines for managing food cost, but I was hoping for some professional verification that I'm doing it right. This isn't the book for that level of operations. This truly is just MATH - converting pounds to ounces, ounces to tablespoons, that kind of thing. Scaling recipes up and down. And stuff like, "If I need 5 pounds of chopped onion, how many raw onions do I have to buy?" I was looking for something about restaurant math from the owner/manager standpoint. But if you're looking for Kitchen Math 101, I doubt you could do better.

great workbook for culinary students
Great book for restaurant math. I did 4 years of culinary school and it still is a great book. Especially if you did not get a chance to goto school. Great everyday problems, converting recipes, food cost, labor cost, income statements. Great problems, great book

Textbook for school
Book is required for NUTR 205 Intro to Food Science. The examples at the beginning of each chapter was enough help to complete all the problems.

I've never been too good at math
I've never been too good at math, but this book does a pretty good job explaining everything. Plus, it helps that my professor actually is one of the authors lol

Buena informacion
Excelente libro para estudiantes de gastronomía y profesionistas iniciados en materia de conversiones, costeos, rendimientos, compras y mermas para elaborar una receta, información para tener muy en cuenta si es que usted emprenderá un nuevo negocio de alimentos. El libro está plagado de problemas y ejercicios prácticos, lo cual ayuda a ejercitar los conceptos mostrados en el libro. En mi caso lo único que no me agrado es que muchos de los ejercicios están en sistema inglés, en varios de ellos se involucran las conversiones de unidades, no está mal, pero para alguien como yo que necesita aplicar estos conceptos más en la práctica, veo innecesario tanta info sobre las conversiones de unidades, pero en general muy buen libro.
