I am a chef getting ready to start my own restaurant/catering business. After reading this easy to understand, well-written book, I am confident in my knowledge of the math I will need to succeed. Glad someone took the time to share such useful information.
I hate math and am trying to get ready for Culinary School in March so I have been reading everything I can get my hands on to help. This is a very simple book, with easy to understand examples.
After purchasing this book from s, I would not recommend reading this book, unless you are already good at math. There are several mathematical errors, misplaced decimals, and incorrectly written equations. I am very disappointed with the writer and publisher for not catching these elementary mistakes that can cost a lot of people there business.
