While I agree with all the positive comments about this book. I have one issue to raise, in the intro Hugh explains that due to restrictions placed upon them, sadly some of the recipes had to be culled. Yet when I compare it to the first River Cottage Guide on Mushrooms it is significantly thinner than that volume. It occurs to me that this may be simply a cynical marketing ploy to allow for a follow up book. All things being equal I find that level of commercial greed distasteful.
Which is a real shame, because overall the quality of this collection is superb and they are precisely what I require a one subject volume that sticks to the point.
