Summary: A good read AND a great cookbook
Review: This cookbook is excellent. I use it all the time when I entertain. From the lucious but simple sliced oranges to the Northern European flavours of Muscovite salad, this book has plenty to recommend it. I've tried about half of the recipes in the book. They were great. Possibly the thing I like most about the book is that exact measurements aren't included. It's more a dash of this and a pinch of that. It's the sort of free-wheeling cookery that appeals to me: I can shape the dish as I like.

What's more, the text that accompanies the recipes is literate and most enjoyable to read. The tone sort of makes one think of "A year in Provence," by Peter Mayle. The photography is also great.

Do give "Food to Die For" a try. I heartily recommend this book.
