Customer Reviews

I love this cookbook!

I agree with the previous reveiwer--this book is great alone, even if you have never seen the show. The recipes have creative twists and the pictures are gorgeous. The recipes are pretty easy to follow; metric measurements are equated to regular measurements. Occasionally you have to be on the lookout for european terminology (i.e. "wild rocket") but the food is great: mmmm-mm, peach clafoutis!

Excellent companion to the show and stands well on its own.

If you enjoy the show (as seen on Discovery Home & Leisure) you will most definitely love the book. It has every recipe along with personal comments from Paul, Ben, and Silvana. The recipes are interesting and very easy; Silvana's especially are quick to throw together when you can't be bothered chopping or doing anything too strenuous (the chilli-cheese tortilla sandwich is an excellent example). Each recipe has its own color photo so you have an idea of what the end result should look like. This is a book that you can enjoy looking at as well as cooking from.
