First of all, this is a very beautiful (and heavy!) cookbook. The photographs of the finished dishes are gorgeous and full-page. The print is relatively large and easy to read. I have tried several of the recipes with perfect results. What I like most about this cookbook is that it isn't a collection of slightly tweaked adaptations from other sources but refreshingly original and easy to make combinations of ingredients. There are a lot of ideas between the formal recipes as well that are interesting,useful suggestions for making the most of seasonal ingredients. So far, I have made the Pineapple and Lime muffins (with coconut and coconut milk), the Aromatic Roast Chicken Breasts, Dill Pancakes with Smoked Salmon, Tuna and Quinoa Salad, Squash and Hazelnut Salad, Baby Beets with Walnut Dressing, Tomato and Prosciutto Risotto and the Chestnut and Mushroom Soup. They all tasted terrific and looked as good as the photographs in the book. The recipes are very up-to-date and well tuned in to how we eat today. You will enjoy reading and cooking from this book for a long time. Highly recommended.
