Garde Manger: The Cold Kitchen

This is a well conceived, superbly organized, beautifully presented book on the preparation of food with special emphasis on the importance of visual presentation. Chef Hemm is a superbly talented chef with a natural eye and skill for preparing stimulating food. He is, by all accounts, a natural teacher, lover of kitchen work and now accomplished author. This is a must have book for all culinary students, chef instructors and kitchen professionals. Having taught culinary arts for almost 30 years, this is by far the best book on the subject of garde manger that I have found. Kudos to Chef Hemm!
