Food Safety and Math. The number one and number two things that prevent a large portion of culinary students, food service operators and restaurant owners from being successful. Cross contamination will stop a kitchen in it's tracks and the HandiFacts Culinary Reference Cards are laminated for a sanitizable surface- try and sanitize your cookbook. Secondly, math tests accompany each block in culinary school and that catches a handful of students off guard. These cards are designed by a Chef, Chocolatier, Food Safety Educator and former Le Cordon Bleu student and tutor. The math, conversions, adjustments, images and formulas are standard in our industry, and it is the one and only thing EVERY GREAT CHEF can agree on.
100%. The HandiFacts© Culinary Reference Cards were designed by a culinary student while he was a tutor in culinary school, and he later became a Chef and Award-Winning Chocolatier. Unfortunately, a percentage of students who enter the culinary education system end up either dropping out or never pursuing their dream of a restaurant or food service operation. This series of mathematical based culinary reference cards gives you the competitive edge when it comes to the requirements of culinary school math.

Trying to wash your cookbook when you spill sauces or get raw protein on it is impossible. HandiFacts was designed by a Chef that taught ServSafe Food Safety Certifications, so every card is laminated to protect the information from cross-contamination and spills.
