Pros & Cons
Pros
Frickin' awesome. Great book in depth and breadth. All books by culinarily institute of america are exceptional!
This book is written by the culinary institute of america, the premier cooking school in the usa. It's easy to convert the quantities and most of the techniques are similar enough that it shouldn't be a problem even for the home cook.
The recipes are for restaurants or catering, unless you are having a big dinner party. For those troubled or handicapped with recipes for large numbers, there is this thing called math, which helps in scaling down portions.
Cons
My gripe is i spent $80 for it as an app about 4 years ago. One huge gash on front cover (hardcover) with a few scratches else where.
Highlights
Quality
I’ve had experience with the 7th edition and hope this just adds to all that was offered
Competitiveness

It has everything a beginner chef all the way up to the professional chef would want to know about the culinary world
