As in Volume I, expert knowledge is conveyed in a clear and vivid manner. Here, professionals will find everything relevant to food, including the well-known subject of food science. The authors are particularly concerned with conveying to their younger colleagues what it means to cut corners in the wrong places, why it is sensible to focus on local products, to pay attention to the seasons, and to seriously consider the aspect of purchasing products from organic farming. It is about a fundamental understanding of the value of food – they should be treated with this appreciation.
