I have it Eddy. It's so so. If you want a copy, I can email it to you.
I was wondering if it was worth recomending to folks.
You know it has me thinking. We probably could create a "Pros Catering" forum we get so many requests.
What WOULD be good sources?

What WOULD be good sources?
Russ
here are four books that i have found extemely helpful. the first three deal primarily with catering and the fourth book i would never allow myself to be without.
"successful catering"
bernard splaver
ISBN 0-442-23980-7
"themes,dreams and schemes"
g. eugene wigger,CPCE
ISBN 0-417-15391-5
"marketing by menu"
nancy loman scanlon
ISBN 0-471-25330-8
this last book has served me very well over the years and anyone even remotely thinking of food service should own it. we see all the time how much to cook questions or where does this come from and this book answers all of those questions and more. it was my bible when i was doing convention work.
"chef's book of formulas,yields and sizes"
arno schmidt
ISBN 0-442-02203-4
hope it helps some

Good evening gentlemen. My favorite cooking book for the past 35 years is Wenzel's Menu Maker. I don't see it available much anymore but still consider it well worth the $250 cost. If I could have only one book this would be it.
1hawsfli,
the wenzels is a dream book and a great one!!!! when i got out of culinary school i couldn't decide between it and herring's dictionary. finally flipped a coin and got the herrings but the wenzel's remains on my wish list!!!!!
jack
ps. why they call ya grumpy???!!! or is it just a chef thing lol
pps. good thing i did though. 1st exec wanted hollandise and to this day i remember 13 egg yolks and 2 pounds clarified butter and a hand whip. no robot coupe for that guy lol

Jack,
I have a southern belle daughter in law who got in a tif with me several years ago. To get even she taught my 23 grandkids to call me "Grumpy". I decided why fight it hence "Grumpy's Barbecue".

Jack,
She had a "hissey fit". Only a southerner knows what that is.

If your daughter in law had 23 children,unless she also influenced all your other childrens' children, she deserves to have a hissey fit. Just my $.02
