review 1: I read this book over the past two weeks like crazy, and so far have tried two recipes. Fantastic. It didn't surprise me too much though, as I tend to pick books and recipes if the ingredients loosely fit into what we eat. There are a few we won't be eating - squid just isn't my thing - and a couple are either too time-consuming, or are too exotic for my "house cat" palette (there really are not many of these, though). These recipes draw mostly from all over the Mediterranean, with some Asian tossed in (and maybe others too, I think it's mentioned in the intro), and even one or two Mexican-based recipes. One of them was for Quesadillas, and they were absolutely delicious. There are AT LEAST twenty other recipes bookmarked for taste-testing. :-)The recipes in this book are ... morevegetarian, but the author is not vegetarian, and that suits me/my family perfectly as we are not vegetarians either, but have cut our meat consumption by almost half over the past several years. These dishes can easily be served with meat, when the occasion/mood suits it. This is a book that will definitely be used very regularly.
review 2: This book was somewhat disappointing to me. After hearing about so many people rave about it, I kept looking for something more. The recipes seem well suited to be made at home, but nothing screamed at me to make it. It was a touch annoying to see all the European measurements; I didn't expect American measurements, but having to convert various measurements (I don't own a scale) made me even less likely to cook from this book. less
