Customer Reviews

Thorough

Although it turns out I already knew most of what was in this book, it read very easily and was full of pertinent information. I think it is an excellent checklist & primer for anyone considering entering the world of catering.

Perfection

There is nothing this book has left out. I had gotton so many books before this one but this one literally answered all the questions i needed answered. I use it as a point of refernce daily. It is clear Mr. Hansen is an expert amoung experts in his field. He speaks to you like you were in a room. Explains thoughrally. Leaves no stone unturned. If you are like me and starting your own business or want to be in the industry, this is surely the book. Sometime I read it just for my reading pleasure. That is how much I love it.

Excellent

Bill Hansen speaks from the authority of years in the business, and I am amazed at how thoroughly he covers not only the interesting aspects of catering, but the seemingly mundane (which become not so mundane when not managed right). The book's passion, sheer informational content, and clear writing make it worth every penny.
