review 1: Interesting, but not enough recipes to my taste for me to purchase this cookbook. There are a lot of sour/bitter/salt flavours I'm not thrilled with like rhubarb and capers. I realize that not every cookbook can contain 100% recipes of my dreams - sometimes I just appreciate the photography and move on.I was also a bit irked at the use of many different fonts per page. The book has a disjointed feel from a graphic design perspective because the fonts are not in harmony.
review 2: Very pretty pictures, but I don't use it a lot/at all.The Raspberry Friands are delicious, attempting rhubarb tart later today. Recipe seems kind of incomplete as instructions say to boil the water you use to soften the rhubarb down to sirupy, but never says if you're supposed to us... moree the syrup for anything in the recipe.There's a lot of things in this book that look delicious, but many of them have one weird ingredient I don't know where to buy, and I don't want to order something specific online where I don't know whether I'll even like it. I did preserve a couple of lemons to see what that's like... the recipe (I found it somewhere else on the internets) was easy and straight forward enough to give it a go.A lot of the salad type things have tomatos in them unfortunately and I don't know how to substitute them... I may just add pureed tomatos for liquid and some other veg.Also, the quantities are huge and not easily cut down. Unfortunate if you're not cooking for large crowds all the time or want to give something a test run. Half the friand recipe was still 12 muffins... since they're best right out of the oven, having at least 5 people handy would be good. less
