• The Ninth Edition of Professional Cooking reflects the changing nature of our understanding of cooking and related fields such as food safety, nutrition, and dietary practices, as well as new thinking about how best to teach this material. What has not changed is the core material that focuses on the essentials--the comprehensive understanding of ingredients and basic cooking techniques that are the foundation of success in the kitchen, and the development of manual skills to apply this knowledge.
• In addition, the WileyPlus digital course includes a number of features to enhance students’ learning. The Procedure Library videos includes guidelines and procedures for important techniques and safety procedures chefs need to know. The Video Library includes videos of techniques from knife skills to and baking and cooking techniques to plating and presentation, while the Math Tutor Video Library includes videos to help students with their kitchen math. The Skills Library includes cheat sheets reminding students of important techniques and cooking methods. A Glossary helps define cooking terminology, while also providing pronunciation guides for cooking terminology.
• WileyPlus also provides lifetime access to the CulinarE-Companion Recipe Management Software, a web-based database of recipes from Professional Cooking, available on any device. The Culinar-E Companion includes enhanced recipe management tools to add recipes and create and revise shopping lists, and lets students edit, scale, view nutritional information, convert measures, and print and share recipes. Recipes can be searched by main ingredient, primary cooking method, or cuisine types. Students can calculate nutritional analyses, and update based on substituted ingredients, organize recipes, images, and videos in one location, and calculate food costs based on each ingredient’s costs. There are nearly 200 Technique videos demonstrating essential kitchen skills that can be used prior to class or for review afterward, or as an introduction to labs. CulinarE-Companion also includes audio pronunciations of over 1,000 terms in the glossary. Unit conversions are done automatically to the next logical unit. Students can add new ingredients to the database.
