Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-22 00:00:00 SCOTT MASSON A fascinating collection of recipes--truly some of the most imaginative combinations of foods I have encountered. Unfortunately, the book is not comprehensive--there are numerous "exotic" (to me) favorites (rambutan, mangosteen, gingko nuts) that do not appear in these pages; her principle of selection is unclear. Also, her info is solid, but sometimes incomplete. She seems unaware that certain vegetables can be eaten raw as well as cooked for example, making it limited as a resource. Still, it remains one of my favorites to pull off the shelf and graze through.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-03 00:00:00 Kenneth Vaughan Another winner which no doubt has been eclipsed by time. Great for reference and substance. After getting this one then you will be more then ready to branch out to more specific items in other books.
