DESCRIPTION:
Written by someone who does not know all that much about food A. Tsai I have to read this book for our Hospitality Purchasing Class. The first few chapters on Purchasing fundamentals (Purchasing Systems, Distributors, Legal Issues, etc) are mind numbingly boring to read, the author tries to cover a lot of important concepts and issues, which is great, but it is almost as bad as trying to read the actual text of the Poultry Products Inspection Act.For a textbook that is supposed to be for the "Food Service Operation", the chapters on food is actually very brief.

There were words in there my instructor said were important, but I never saw any of them. I got a B in the class! Thanks, book!
