content wise, great resource broadly covering all areas of cooking format wise, this is terrible. The Play Books table of contents leaves four major chapters out; sauces, vegetables, meat and carving so navigating through the text is a nightmare. App seems to operate much more sluggishly when using this book. In book links to chapters or recipes often don't correctly match up with the page you're attempting to visit. regret purchasing this and not the physical copy

As a student this book has helped me refine my craft offering different ways to acheive the same end result. This really helped me understand some of the things I was learning in school.

Classic, thorough French canon of technique with exemplar recipes. Ebook takes a while toload, but is complete, and updated, expanded pictures beyond original B & W of original printing are great.
