Professional textbook for professional chefs

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 high-resolution videos elaborating hard-to-convey techniques like breaking down primal cuts, laminating puff pastry, and making hollandaise. The app allows for comprehensive highlighting and note-taking. 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.
