Customer Reviews

Was good but...........

I liked the book and it will be helpful however it wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. Not sure what I was expecting.

A REALLY Good thing!

This is by far the best -I have them all and this is the icing on the cake. An excellent assortment from the magazine that covers simple, healthy food to elaborate and challenging productions. If you are a cook, someone who loves to cook, or a collector of great recipes get this! It's not for beginners or kitchen/time challenged, however.
