[Trevor · Rating 4 out of 5]

this book has provided some great recipes, but more importantly ideas on flavor and texture matching. I look forward to using the ideas presented here in my own work.

Enjoyable book, but I notice many of the designs/flavors for the competition are getting to be pretty conservative, even heading towards the timid.
