All reviews →Really nice
I wondered about paying that much, but after downloading it I realized that this is so much better than a lot of books Ive paid that much for! Good job by the writers and developers.
Wow!
I bought this "book" for my wife and she absolutely loves it! I was really surprised by the quality of the video content, very professional and makes the content come alive!
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.
Truly Impressive
The CIA got this right. Im a graduate of the CIA and have to say this is a resource I wish I had while there. AMAZING. great way to search, get quick refresher courses and just have fun!! THIS IS WHAT TEXT BOOKS SHOULD BE! Im hoping they do the pastry book the same way.
Great resource but the lack of a standard bookmark is an unfortunate oversight
Ive only just started to absorb the material but, so far, the breadth and depth of the information seems quite thorough. The text is well written and the intentions of each section are well implemented. The videos are okay but the severe compression reduces the overall impression of quality. Ive also noticed that the videos lag as if they were being streamed from the net but, from what I gather, theyre embedded into the actual book. Even though Im on an iPad2, Im not sure what to make of that. It was extremely apparent in the free chapter provided by inkling but I assumed that it was due to shortcuts made for the free chapter. Apparently not? One other sore point that I would love to see fixed in a future update -- since Im reading this as a proper text book and less as a general reference, I find it decidedly bothersome that there isnt an option for a basic bookmark feature. The book should automatically save the exact page that Im on so that if Im pulled away or the app is closed, I can return to where I left off. If iBooks has it, why not this? Lastly, it would be nice if there was an option for full justification of the text. From a layout point of view, it would be easier on my eyes to see each line of text use the full width instead of being left-justified and leaving jagged right edges (as seen in the above screenshots).
WOW
As a trained chef I was apprehensive about this app at first, but after checking it out I was blown away. Very easy to use. Absolutely awesome.
The professional chef app
Glad this app is available. I am a home cook that briefly cooked in a restaurant when I was younger. I always want to take my cooking up a notch. Thank you. I find myself referencing it constantly. Love this app. I wish It had Chef Uwe Hestnars 2 sheet ratio list for food!!! Would pay extra.
