Book Reviews of In the Hands of a Chef: The Professional Chef's Guide to Essential Kitchen Tools (Culinary Institute of America)

Book Review: Embarassingly inadequate
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this based on the reputation of the Culinary Institute of America and my familarity with other books from them (which have all been exceptional). If you don't have any knowledge of anything related to kitchen tools, you might find this somewhat useful for about 5 minutes. But, if you've ever been inside a kitchen the material presented here is completely useless. Most of the descriptions are less than a page of rudimentary information. Don't waste your time or money on this one! (I'm sending it back)
