Acknowledgments

It’s been many years since the publication of the first edition of Professional Cooking, and over that time, countless individuals have contributed their knowledge, time, and effort to help make this text, far too many for me to be able to list in this space. My heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed to this book over the course of ten editions.

Photographer Jim Smith has been my partner in these texts since the beginning. His hundreds of photographs are an indispensable part of Professional Cooking and are valuable teaching tools. I can never thank him enough.
