Nutrition 9 th Edition is for nutrition (or “healthy cooking”) courses in a culinary arts curriculum and intends to be a practical, how-to program with up-to-date information on national nutrition guidelines and standards for food preparation and labeling.
This book was used in my Nutrition class at Culinary school. This was one of my least favorite books so far. So many of the terms used reminded me of reading a science book. I've never really cared for science and didn't care for this book. There are many ways that this book could have been made enjoyable, but Karen Eich Drummond isn't much of a writer. There has to be better books on nutrition out there.
