Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-09 00:00:00 Elizabeth Stanbro I was very disappointed with this book. I found there was very little of use to me, there are very few recipes in comparison with other books about preserving. I was also annoyed by the sometimes condescending language which I didn't find funny at all, e.g. the writer's reminiscences of her first experience with chutney, her big surprise that something sounding so queer could taste so good. How can one criticise a dish, just because it comes from a foreign cuisine and its name doesn't sound familiar? I'm very glad that I can make patatas bravas, pumpkin and orange chutney, or chicken tikka masala without wondering how strange they sound in my language, I'm just grateful that multicultural exchange have made them part of my daily diet.
