The recipes work. Already ahead of 50% of cookbooks but this is an ingredient book.
The fennel pizza crust recipe absolutely unique! As for the 50 Cloves of Garlic Chicken? I have put that in my calendar for when I come back from vacation! Super book, easy read, and a solid addition to a good kitchen library 📚.
20 years ago, these recipes would have seemed exotic to many... Hummus, Peruvian potatoes, and Thai sweet-hot Duck. Not so much today. This is a fine little book, with splendid illustrations. The recipes are simple enough for even a beginning cook. Foodies will find it quaint.
