I absolutely love the concept of this book - I often turn to it when I'm not exactly sure if two ingredients will pair well, or if I just need inspiration. I also enjoy her writing, which can be very funny at times.
Unfortunately, not all the recipes we tried until now were reliable, and so I'll turn to a proper cookbook for future recipes.
This isn't really a cookbook. It contains very few recipes as such, but fairly bursts with suggestions and advice distilled not just from the author's experience but from the extensive bibliography.
I bought the Kindle version which makes navigating the cross-references much easier.
