Description:

Students in culinary and baking programs become professional chefs and bakers/pastry chefs by learning the techniques and procedures to execute dishes. As cooking and baking programs have expanded and the demands from industry have increased, the need to learn the "whys" has become more important. For example, if you double the sugar in a pound cake, how does that affect the appearance, flavor, and texture of the end product? This book takes the future pastry chef and baker through the major ingredient groups, explaining how sweeteners, fats, milk, leavening agents, etc. work and provides end of chapter exercises and lab experiments to reinforce concepts.
