Every recipe you write has the power to make or break a meal--and a cook's reputation!

Not with The Recipe Writer's Handbook by your side. Whether you're working in the kitchen or at the computer, this comprehensive handbook provides definitive guidance on how to write concise and complete recipes without sacrificing your creativity or your personal touch. The Handbook teaches you how to "think" your way through a recipe to make important decisions and troubleshoot potential problems concerning format and syntax, spelling, cooking terminology, weights and measurements, recipe testing, presentation of the final recipe, and many other areas. In the foreword, Antonia Allegra, president of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, ponders the soul of a well-written recipe. Other leading food authorities, such as Madeleine Kamman, director of the School for American Chefs at Beringer Vineyards; Carolyn O'Neil, of CNN's "On The Menu"; and Chuck Williams, the founder of Williams-Sonoma cookware stores, offer valuable insights into what makes a good recipe.
