COOKING ESSENTIALS

FOR THE NEW PROFESSIONAL CHEF

by THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INSTITUTE

1997

THE MOTIVATION FOR THIS BOOK WAS OUR DESIRE TO INCORPORATE INTO NIT AS MANY CONTEMP[ORARY COOKING CONCEPTS AS POSSIBLE, WHILE REMAINING TRUE TO THE PRICIPALS THAT GOVERN ALL GOOD COOKING.

WE HAVE BROUGHT THE IMPORTANT LESSONS MORE CLEARLY INTO FOCUS. THE BOOK IS ARRANGED IN A PROGRESSIVE, LOGICAL SEQUENCE, SEPARATED INTO FOUR PARTS. WE BEGIN WITH A BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF A CHEF'S ROLE IN SOCIETY. tHEN WE MOVE ON TO AN INDEPTH DISCUSSION OF THE BSPECIFIC AREAS OF CONCERN FOR THE PROFESSIONAL, INCLUDING FOOD SAFETY AND SANITATION, NUTRITION, AND THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE AND FABRICATE FOODS AND TO USE EQUIPMENT EFFICIENTLY AND SAFELY.

IN THE THIRD PART OF THE BOOK, COOKING IN THE PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN, THE EMPHASIS IS ON PROVIDING A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE BASIC COOKING TECHNIQUES USING BOTH WORD AND PICTURES.

THE RECIPES THEMSELVES FOUND IN THE FOURTH PART OF THE BOOK, ARE GROUPED ACCORDING TO THE WAY THAT PROFESSIONALS WILL USE THEM. FIVE SEPARATE CHAPTERS INCLUDE ENTREE RECIPES.

"THINKING OF BECOMING A CHEF? THIS IS WHERE YOU START, WITH THIS BOOK!" Crabass

AFTER YOUR PURCHASE

I would prefer you would wait until either I invoice you or you ask for total before paying, for several reasons. First being an accurate total so you and I are getting the best shipping rates, because traditionally I notice shipping is higher because basically you're guessing at final package weight. So the bottom line is this, I will give you the best rate possible, promise! So give me some time or request total and I will give you the fastest one business day shipping possible. Thanks, Crabass

PACKING FACTS

You will always find your books or items packaged professionally. Sometimes I use boxes, sometime your books will come wrapped in thick brown paper, depending most times on destination. My object, of course, is for you to receive your items in described condition. And always it will be shipped at the least expensive way possible.

SHIPPING FACTS

The fact is that most package handlers are tossing our packages around with disregard as to their contents. I have no control over these people. But rest assured if your package arrives not in described condition I will guarantee I will take care of you. Unfortunately you will be responsible for the cost of sending item back and it's more than important that the item comes back in "original" packaging! Also since I choose to ship internationally, any fee's added by your country of origin will not be my responsibility to repay, sorry!

FEEDBACK

Feedback is the final stage of your transaction. This lets "ME" know I did good. This is obviously important as I do strive to do it all right to the best of my ability and you are my wingman keeping me straight. Also it lets know that I am commited to my customers like nobody else. Our fee's and honor are monitored in a good way and I want you to come back and at least check out my wide array of items on "thevintagecookatcrabass" time and time again. So when your package arrives and your day becomes a little better because of everything I've done to make you smile, "Please Leave Me Feedback" for I've earned it. Thanks, Crabass.
