Customer Reviews

The ninth edition of The Professional Chef is an amazing compendium of information. Although the title includes the word professional, this is just the type of book that can inspire even novices to be a little more adventuresome in the kitchen.
The book's layout makes the information easy to access and directions easy to follow, with plenty of gorgeous color photography to support the copy.
Whether or not the reader ever attempts the wide array of recipes presented(most of which serve at least a dozen people by the way), The Professional Chef is what we call an "armchair cookbook" that gives enjoyment and pleasure just browsing through it on a rainy night with a glass of port in hand.
At a little over 1200 pages, The Professional Chef does an admirable job of covering all the basics and then some when it comes to working the kitchen, professionally or just for pleasure.

I was so excited to see that there was a new addition of the professional chef and blown away by the cover on this 9th addition. I got my copy off the shelf, which is the 8th addition and was disappointed to see that it had all three of the recipes that are featured are in the 8th addition and the photos are the same as well. The book is the same, they only changed the cover to give it an updated look. The book itself is incredible! I was interested in purchasing the new one, but it's not new.
