It is like the foundation for understanding the concepts of the foods we eat everyday. The chapters are short for the most part, but it contains very good information. I also like the chemist corner and how & why sections. Another aspect of this book is the profiles for the different professionals and wished the author would have shown more.The only other downside is the price, wish it was a cheaper option to actually purchase this book instead of just renting it. Review: rented an older version, returned the rental, and ended up buying a copy because I liked it so much - When I needed this book for a class, I chose to rent it. I was supposed to buy the newer edition, which would've cost about $300. I'd seen reviews that the new edition has very, very few and minimal changes, so I rented the older version, for $40. I didn't expect I would use it much, and certainly didn't think I'd actually want to keep it. Turns out that for the science side of understanding food, it's really well written. It's concise, and it makes the concepts easy to understand. Admittedly, it's not a current edition. But I was able to purchase a copy (after returning my rental copy) for $9, and I'm happy to have it in my library as I move forward toward becoming a registered dietitian. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0538734981 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,759,787 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #384 in Medical Nutrition (Books) #407 in Nutrition (Books) #2,741 in Food Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (68) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 1.25 x 10.75 inches | | Edition | 4th | | ISBN-10 | 9780538734981 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0538734981 | | Item Weight | 7.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Available Titles CourseMate | | Print length | 704 pages | | Publication date | June 1, 2010 | | Publisher | Cengage Learning | ## Images ![Understanding Food: Principles and Preparation (Available Titles CourseMate) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5197MCCRmoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really enjoy this book *by M***2 on April 5, 2014* I am currently taking a nutrition course and I love this book.

I think a lot would be added if published in color, but obviously not a choice. Information is good and I was able to save money by using this older version in my class rather than the most recent edition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/1610367-understanding-food-principles-and-preparation-available-titles-coursemate](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/1610367-understanding-food-principles-and-preparation-available-titles-coursemate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
