    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!
