The Home Chefs Emergency Medical Guide is a useful kitchen companion for every home chef, whether he or she is toiling over a sizzling saut pan, wielding a razor-sharp Japanese chopping knife or blowtorching a crme brle. While not a substitute for professional medical treatment, this is a first-line guide to prevention and emergency care amid the mayhem that often occurs preparing a fine meal at home.
