Customer Reviews

Absolutely fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic. This book is packed with ideas i've never thought of. Everything from Vinaigrettes, to stocks, to absolutely mouthwatering desserts. And it's all made with fruits, and chile!My first attempt, inspired by the small tale about the author's grandparents, was "Mostarda di frutta" on page 39. The only way i can sum it up accurately is "!!!!!!". I've cooked things for myself. I've cooked stuff for my family. I've entertained friends with it, and it's causing RIOTS!If you like fruit, and if you like hot food, please please buy a copy of this!Thanks for making me restock my kitchen, Jaqueline! I'm investing in kilner jars!
