A Complete And Utter Disappointment
I have dropped the rating to the lowest possible, I would give it a zero if I could. The book is full of errors: Example 1. 48 TABLE 4.1 PH SCALE is reversed. Gastric Fluid, Lemon Juice & Vinegar are acids not bases. Just imagine how your recipes would turn out? Example 2 APPENDIX WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART 1 OUNCE = 437.5 GRAMS, Really?? Where?? Unless you have a good Chemistry & Mathematics skill set, are fluent in working both English & Metric units I would avoid this book, Your kitchen skills will be tested. The most distributing aspect of this book is it is intended to be used as a text book. Obviously Wiley's proofreaders need to return to school. Wonder if this book is published by Wiley E Coyote of Looney Tunes! Give yourself plenty of time and opportunity when testing these techniques and recipes. I am seriously considering returning this book. I do not believe that I can trust the contents of the book to be accurate. After the long wait for this book to be release it has turned out to be A Complete And Utter Disappointment
