'What a fantastic textbook to celebrate the launch of this new and exciting course. Teachers and students should feel confident that they are teaching and learning exactly what the course intended. An extremely well written and structured textbook with subject content explained in a very student friendly way. Great visuals, variety of interesting recipe ideas, stretch and challenge activities with useful practice questions at the end of each chapter. An invaluable teaching resource with great advice on both NEA and final exam. I now feel confident and ready to teach!' Food teacher
