The Professional Chef by the Culinary Institute of America

I wondered about paying that much but after downloading it I realized that this is so much better than a lot of books Ive paid that much for Good job by the writers and developers                 Really nice

I have been waiting for this for years                 Fantastic

All chefs should have this book Its the Bible for anyone who enjoys cooking                 The BEST tool for all Chefs

I cant believe the amount of information in this app Although I purchased it when it was on sale its a great value That being said I expected EVERY recipe to be accompanied by a quality high resolution photo but that is not the case that I would change Overall this is an app Ill be using for many years              GREAT but

This app has it all Only wish you could watch the videos offline                 Awesome

So much info                 Great apps

Great book                 Mr

The perfect interactive culinary resource way ahead of the curve                 Amazing

Ive only just started to absorb the material but so far the breadth and depth of the information seems quite thorough The text is well written and the intentions of each section are well implemented The videos are okay but the severe compression reduces the overall impression of quality Ive also noticed that the videos lag as if they were being streamed from the net but from what I gather theyre embedded into the actual book Even though Im on an iPad2 Im not sure what to make of that It was extremely apparent in the free chapter provided by inkling but I assumed that it was due to shortcuts made for the free chapter Apparently not One other sore point that I would love to see fixed in a future update since Im reading this as a proper text book and less as a general reference I find it decidedly bothersome that there isnt an option for a basic bookmark feature The book should automatically save the exact page that Im on so that if Im pulled away or the app is closed I can return to where I left off If iBooks has it why not this Lastly it would be nice if there was an option for full justification of the text From a layout point of view it would be easier on my eyes to see each line of text use the full width instead of being leftjustified and leaving jagged right edges as seen in the above screenshots           Great resource but the lack of a standard bookmark is an unfortunate oversight

This is an amazing App except that You need Internet connection or you cant use it Went to moms She has no wifi so couldnt use it I am not a chef but with this app I could be it has everything video complete instructions for fine food preparation definitions of everything you can highlight bookmark i think it is even backed up in the cloud Beautifully illustrated A very complete information guide for anyone who fancies themselves a Chef if like me only in their dreams Well worth the price But no Tiramisu        Fantastic except

Love this app                 Great tool for professional Chefs and Amateurs

I must admit I originally balked at the price but I bit the bullet and bought it and have not regretted it The app is incredibly detailed and covers darn near anything you could realistically want to do in your kitchen The pictures rival WilliamsSonoma in quality and detail which are renowned Theres a reason this was rated one of the top five culinary books of the decade If you want to learn how to cook this bookapp is hands down the best on the market My one caveat the portions are somewhat larger because IMHO the target audience isnt Mom or Dad making dinner for a family of four on a Friday night so take this into consideration                 Unbelievably awesome encyclopedia

This app is a complete waste of money The technique videos are not as useful as ones you can find for free on the web and the recipes are not for things most people like to eat I was very disappointed and felt misled by other reviews Ive owned the app for about a year now and have just not found a good use for it     LoveToCook

For 50 More receipts should be added        Its ok

This apps does not show you how to cook a better food You can get better video presentation from free iTunes classes You just waste your money to spend on this app     Happy New YeAr

As a trained chef I was apprehensive about this app at first but after checking it out I was blown away Very easy to use Absolutely awesome                 WOW

The videos on this app are detailed and very informational So many students learn faster when they can actually watch the procedure numerous times and even mimic it at home before entering the classroom and doing it for a grade                 Great app for the visual learner

This book gives you the information on how to prepare and present dishes on a professional level                 The how to from a Chefs perspective

Glad this app is available I am a home cook that briefly cooked in a restaurant when I was younger I always want to take my cooking up a notch Thank you I find myself referencing it constantly Love this app I wish It had Chef Uwe Hestnars 2 sheet ratio list for food Would pay extra                 The professional chef app

This app is very limited on the iPhone 5 Screens that might be useful in landscape mode can only be viewed in portrait so you must scroll left and right to read charts There is no index and search requires exact matches My rating is for the iPhone version which isnt ready for prime time and is definitely not worth more than a few dollars        Great for iPad soso for iPhone

I own the textbook this app is based on This condensed version of the text is is a wonderful reference when trying to express ideas to my cooks planning reviews and curriculums for training The price is a bit demanding but I dont mind paying for the simple and straightforward interfacedatabase              Great app for on the go

Great resource for people in the industry Well executed                 Good app

The title says it all this is not a cookbook it is a textbook for professional chefs If youre looking for a few pro tips to spice up your home cooking this may not be worth the money But if you are a professional chef or serious home cook so far this app has been a good substitute for the paper version Nice highresolution videos elaborating hardtoconvey techniques like breaking down primal cuts laminating puff pastry and making hollandaise The app allows for comprehensive highlighting and notetaking Its more expensive than it should be but if you need this book in some form or other this is a pretty slick form to have it in The one reason I didnt give this five stars is because I think the text could be handled a little more delicately The card system used in the app works great for studying and quizzing but for casual reading its a little intrusive Id prefer to toggle between card and page views              Professional textbook for professional chefs

I bought this book for my wife and she absolutely loves it I was really surprised by the quality of the video content very professional and makes the content come alive                 Wow

Great book Well worth it                 Chef bible

This has everything I need                 Perfect

Perfect for culinary arts school A must have                 Great app

The CIA got this right Im a graduate of the CIA and have to say this is a resource I wish I had while there AMAZING great way to search get quick refresher courses and just have fun THIS IS WHAT TEXT BOOKS SHOULD BE Im hoping they do the pastry book the same way                 Truly Impressive

awsome                 awsome

I paid over 50 and now this app wants me to create an account on something called linkling No way     Linking No way

Coming from someone who has the txt book and graduated from the school The resources are endless with this book and the sideshows and videos are great Anything you need to know about a kitchen And cooking can be found within the book totally worth it                 Amazing

I had a copy of the text book which has become my reference for all things in the kitchen and I was a first dubious about spending the money on a electronic version but the app takes the information in the book to a whole new level One of the frustrating things about the book if your not a professional chef is that it is a text book so each chapter builds upon the last If you pick out a recipe from the middle of the book you need to bounce back and forth to other pages before you get a complete idea of what involved in the meal The app works the same way but since it incoprorates hyperlinks the information flow much more smoothel So if you arent sure how to make a velouté sauce when working through a cream soup recipe you just tap on the word and all is explained The videos also add an additional dimension and the ability to add your own notes to a page makes the app indispensable                 Even better than the text book
