best christmas present for a cook
Loved this book -- so so good for visual and practical . Used loads of times in the month I own it and I have rarely done that before. Fab present !

Design detracts from recipes
I'm sorry but I found the design of this book really irritating! The pages are too narrow, while white space paddles around cramped text.

I am sure the recipes are divine, and when I stop being annoyed by the layout, I'll tackle one!

GREAT BOOK - GREAT REVIEWS
Among all books recently published, this one is really written for the cook(amateur or professional) and not to show how great this or that chef is. The book is full of great and inspiring ideas and the food full of astonishing flavors. You read the book and few minutes later you are in the kitchen cooking. Thanks for this really good and honest cookbook.
