| "(The Best of Boot Camp DVD) is the most useful film I've ever seen devoted to both basic and advanced cooking techniques. Clean and honest documentary film-making is used throughout, with little time wasted on stylistic nonsense. Sound is crisp and clear also, with correct adjustments made for the sometimes unfortunate acoustics of many kitchens. The lesson layout of the DVD is admirably arranged, it is obvious that much thought and care for detail went into this production. The CIA has outdone itself, creating a modern classic that will stand the test of time. Bravo!" Karel Sebek Kalamazoo, MI |
