I bought this book in anticipation of taking my first college course (after graduating high school 17 years ago!). I have been reading it before the class starts because it is a very fascinating and comprehensive guide with (fairly) easy-to-understand explanations of the scientific breakdown of all of our favorite foods. Even if the class is cancelled, I will still keep this as a great compliment to my cookbooks!

Nutrition for Foodservice and Culinary Professionals, Study Guide Review

I recently took a class and this was the textbook that we used, also I wanted to raise the ratings from the 1 star ratings of people who were unhappy with 3rd party sellers and lowered the average for this book unnecessarily.
It's full of information about what nutrients do what, and has a lot on calories and how many servings of each nutrient you need for a certain number of calories. For example, you need 2 cups of vegetable per day for a certain amount of calories. I actually lost 20 pounds by following the guidelines for 2000 and 1500 calorie diets. It also goes into detail about food allergies, and even has some recipes in the back to make healthier versions of traditional recipes.

Foods: Experimental Perspectives (6th Edition) Review

I found this to be an interesting and useful book for a cook outside of the professional cooking arena. It seems like a sound textbook, but I used it independently. I have paired this thick tome with the thin The Science of Cooking for what seems to me to be a nearly perfect pairing. Barham hits from the science side, you really understand what's happening physically, and McWilliams comes in from the culinary side tackling the same issues. Solid science and good cooking.
