Why I would buy this book
The recipes that are in bold are ones I have already made. As you can see, that is quite a few. And just for that reason alone I would recommend you buy this recipe book. Not only for the excellend recipes and great ingredient resource, but also for the glossary. At the end you will find a list of stockists in some countries.
