The recipes in this collection have a lot of variety and imagination. One of the things I value about this book is that it inspires me to make my own creations loosely based on the recipes.

Photos of pretty salads and pretty people. I didn't really see a lot that I would like to make. And the Venison Dip? Just no. I don't think that translates well for the US audience. It sounds like something you'd make in a Bassomatic.

Overly complicated...

The salads in this book look delicious but require exotic ingredients and way too much prep. Will reconsider when I have a day off.
