I love this book and have used it lots. Rarely has there been any kind of disappointment.

The introduction starts with one of my favorite food quotes: "Subtlety in food does not impress me. I like big, loud flavors”sweet, sour, hot, salty, aromatic, pungent, tingling”preferably all in the same bite."

What I don't like about this book is that I coughed up money for a hardback and it fell apart almost immediately. This wasn't from abuse, but from poor manufacturing quality. My copy of The Thrill of the Grill (S&W's earlier book) has done the same thing. Shame on the publishers, William Morrow and Company, Inc!
