"The book is well laid out and easy to use, with a good list of contents at the front and a very useful index at the rear.I found lots of suggestions for combining some ingredients which were fresh and new to me and I think that is this book's best feature - it gets you thinking about different ways to use familiar ingredients.This is a solid, hardback book - which looks like it will withstand being handled in the kitchen without falling to bits, a huge bonus if you have ever had old favorite paperback books disintegrate due to handling! This book also has some lovely illustrations and beautiful photographs."Grow Harvest Cook"has been added to the bookshelves." "the-compostbin.com""
