Book Review: A MUST FOR TEACHERS & STUDENTS
Summary: 5 Stars

Well written, better researched! If you are in the food industry this is a quick guide that you cannot do without. Highly recommended. This guide offers a visual and written reference of the products (ingredients) and also the way to used, keep or freeze them. The small format makes it simple to carry around. I certainly recommend it to my students and friends.
