It is ideal for an undergraduate course that covers the basic elements of food preparation, food service and food science. Contemporary and comprehensive, the sixth edition of this best-selling text discusses classification, composition, selection, purchasing and storage for a range of traditional food items, and it explores various aspects of food service, including food preparation, meal planning, equipment, food preservation and government regulations. Updated to reflect the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines, UNDERSTANDING FOOD: PRINCIPLES AND PREPARATION, 6th Edition, is now available with MindTap Nutrition, a digital teaching and learning platform that powers students from memorization to mastery.
