DH bought this book in his student years. He prepared a dish or two from it, but he never really used it a lot. Part of the problem was that this book definitely isn't meant for cooking novices - a lot of the recipes contain gaps a skilled cook is expected to fill, but a novice can't. I'm sure the book had a lot of value back then, as there just weren't a lot of cookbooks around, but until now I can't really help thinking that while this book contains a few good recipes, there are probably better ones around.
