I have to say this is the worst cook books I have ever bought, possibly the worst book full stop. I'm a pretty experienced good baker but have been able to get any of the four recipes I have now tried in this book to work. I'm unsure if these recipes have even been tested - the proportions of some ingredients are clearly wrong and some of the techniques just don't work. I'm disgusted that I have wasted so much money on this book and attempting the recipes in it. I have never before throw out any cookbook I have bought, even the not so good ones, but that is exactly what I intend to do with this one.
