Review "Today's food service professional must master more than the basics of bechamel, butchering, and bread-baking. He or she must be equally skilled in the business of food service. Applied Math For Food Service is a unique worktext of math skills designed to support and complement any course in culinary arts." "By applying basic math skills in the context of real-world situations, this workbook encourages students to progress logically through a series of common mathematical applications."--BOOK JACKET.
