Even better than the text book
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.
