This Culinary Institute publication is a classic for professionals, serious hobbyists and chef wannabees who want or need complete knowledge of garde manger skills.
The Fifth Edition pleased me particularly, as it moves toward healthier nutrition and includes vegetarian offerings. I value it for complete technical data - it is a valuable reference work covering kitchen planning, equipment, food safety, food preparation techniques, and instruction. In addition, it contains a wealth of recipes. Numerous black and white photographs and drawings illustrate techniques and there is a section of excellent color photographs of artistic tray and individual plate presentations.
(Perhaps the man whose review "disses" this book was having a bad day - year? - life? - and needed to take it out on something?)
I consider the Art of Garde Manger an excellent basic for any serious cook's research, instruction and library. less
