NEW QUIZ & EXERCISE BOOK
Using The Book of Yields to help understand Food Measurements, Kitchen Math, Food and Recipe Costing and Food Purchasing just got a LOT EASIER!

CHEF DESK has published a set of quizzes and exercises online for students and teachers. Students can download it all or any part of it by clicking on the button at right. Just select the Quiz or Exercise you want and print it out.

These quizzes and exercises follow the same sequence of topics found in The Book of Yields. They enable the user to efficiently find key information in The Book of Yields and put its data and formulas to work solving food costing and food purchasing “problems”.

Each Quiz lists the section numbers in The Book of Yields where the information needed to solve the problems is found.

The Quizzes and Exercises are broken down into three groups:

• Measurement and Costing Quizzes
• Purchasing Quizzes
• Recipe Costing Exercises

Students using The Book of Yields will find the Quizzes and Exercises to be helpful and useful learning tools. They bring The Book of Yields and its Workbook together in a very practical way. The Food Prices in the Workbook are used throughout the Exercises and Quizzes. The Workbook sheets will guide you through the basic steps required to convert Purchase amounts to Recipe amounts and also reverse this process...going from a Recipe amount back to a Purchase amount. The weight-to-volume conversion factors and the trim/cooking yields in The Book of Yields tie it all together, giving you a practical, indeed a professional, approach to costing and purchasing. By taking the quizzes and completing the exercises, you will gain valuable experience and knowledge and have the cost control skills needed to succeed in Food Service.
