Opinion
If you follow my book reviews, you know how I highlight what I think is the best.
How did Torrent do?
I would take the Mango chutney and fresh watercress out of the Devilled Egg recipe. I think that such ingredients are not necessary.
I would take the brown bread out of the Shrimp recipe. I would replace the brown bread with a good loaf of Italian bread. As for Gem lettuce, I would simply use a good ol 99 cent head of lettuce from the produce aisle.
This upcoming summer, I am going to go to yard sales, in search of used tea cups. I think having an Afternoon Tea or a High Tea would be so cool! I want to serve Earl Grey tea and cucumber sandwiches!
The photos are very good. Matt Russell took very nice photos of the food.
I give this cookbook a
5-star rating!
