EXCELLENT BOOK FOR ALL LEVELS OF COOKS

Not suprisingly, Donna Hay has done it again. Every one of her books is clear, concise, innovative, and very doable for all skill levels. This was my second purchase of the same book, to give to my 24yr.old son for christmas. It is excellent.

My Go-To Cookbook

Flavors is definately the cookbook that gets the most use in my home. The beautiful photographs and simple ingredients make it easy to decide what recipies to try, and even the elegent-looking ones are usually easy to prepare. The way it's broken down into chapters by flavor (mint, chocolate, lemon/lime, etc.) also makes it a great resource when you have, say, a half bunch of leftover mint from a night of mojitos.

Awesome AND easy!

A friend of mine in NZ told me about this book. Usually one finds directions so convoluted in cookbooks, but these are very easy with easy ingredients and great pictures that the food actually looks like when you are finished. I also have both her Modern Classics books now and love her style. A great author to have in the kitchen.

Don't Live in a Home without It

Once you have a few of the odd ingredients one doesn't usually find in an American kitchen, you and your partner will devour every recipe in this book! Most importantly, everything is truly delicious. The instructions are simple and the results are as they should be- fabulous. Most items take very little time in preparation and in cooking therefore no kitchen shelf should be without this cookbook. Everybody I have given it to raves about it, and I always have to give it to them because people ALWAYS ask where I learned to cook whatever tasteful meal I have just served them.

Amazing presentation and amazing recepies

I happened across this one at a bookstore and after leafing through it briefly, it quickly became apparent that the book is a work of art on many levels. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular flavor or combination of flavors and all the recipes in it bring out a new look at the topic of question. What amazed me more is the simplicity of the recipes. I wrote down a few to try them out and was amazed at the way that something so brief could bring out the taste of food in such an amazing way. The book itself is beautiful with photography to match the layout. I just had to buy it...
