Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book features basic recipes for a junior chef, however the editor must have taken the day off as there are several errors including missed instructions for ingredients or mismatched pictures. One error in a book of recipes can be expected, several is a disappointing lack of attention to detail.

Some interesting recipes and some nice photos, but they don't always match up. For example a recipe was called "Bagel Faces" but the photo was clearly of toast faces. Other similar situations existed throughout the book.
