Professional Cooking by Wayne Gisslen

It turns out that Wayne Gisslen's Professional Cooking (6th ed), one of the books in my fantasy library, is going to be used as our textbook. Our instructor says it is the same book used in Le Cordon Bleu, the world's oldest professional cooking school.

So there, that's one part of my fantasy fulfilled.

The book comes with a CD that contains software allowing users to search for recipes, view nutrition information, generate shopping lists, perform measurement conversions and modify recipes. Nifty, isn't it? The software unfortunately does not seem to work with Vista, so I'm contacting tech support to see what can be done.
