Unencumbered by theory and speculation, this practical guide can be read quickly and its principles can be implemented the next day. From knowing how much to buy to how to control pilfering this is the complete resource for dramatically improving purchasing practices at any establishment where the chef is the heart of the house.

• "Apply What You've Learned" questions that present realistic situations
