This is a great book (ardderchog!), its got pictures, plenty of words all about food from across the globe. Its got a pic of a black woman with nanas on her head. It also has a range of excellent and bizzare recipes, for example pigeon pee - gunga soup. If you don't buy this book then your just a racist

This book surpassed my expectations. I had the sweet potato and goat's cheese recipe at a friend's place and was so impressed, I immediately bought it. Every recipe has been absolutely mouthwateringly delicious!

I debated carefully about ordering this book because I am a complete sucker for photographs, but having just taken delivery of it I am delighted to find that the author has preceded each recipe with her own illustrative introduction which in some cases almost provide you with a taste of the dish! For example on the recipe for "Chickpeas with Parsley-Tahini Sauce" she notes:
"... This addictive appetizer - rather like an un-mashed hummus - is terrific with pita bread, crackers, or served in butter lettuce or radicchio leaves. Ready in just about five minutes using canned chickpeas, you simply can't beat its convenience when unexpected guests drop by. ...."
I love Paul Gayler - as another reviewer says, he produces beautiful 'cheffy' recipes that are perfectly possible to make at home. I've used his books for years (and believe me I'm no chef) and friends are always impressed when I make one of his dishes. He's full of brilliant ideas, too - I don't like tomatoes, so his beetroot gazpacho will become a regular feature next summer.
Not for complete beginners, perhaps, but certainly nothing to daunt anyone with a few years of cooking under their belt.

There are some great recipes in this book. I haven't had it long and have tried only a handful but I can't wait to try out the rest at any given opportunity.
Some of the recipes are a bit involved, you can tell they are restaurant recipes - they're a bit special for when you're cooking after a day at work. But they are fantastic for entertaining friends or family, or when you have more time. They taste fantastic and the ones I have tried instantly received "classic" status among those who ate them!

If you love garlic then you'll love this book. For the price it is brilliant but don't expect too much.
The book is shaped like a garlic and only about 6 inches tall. Therefore there's not much space to have large recipes with huge descriptions of what to do! Some of the bigger dishes are Roast chicken with garlic and herbs, Tuscan chicken, some pasta and garlicky fishy dishes.
The book is 95 pages long so there's a good variety of dishes. If garlic is your thing, give it a try.

This book is in a great small format with a solid binding ( unlike some cookbooks where the pages start to fall out after just a few uses). The photos are attractive and will make you want to try out the recipes. The organization into chapters ( starters, soups, salads, mains and sides) makes it easy to find your way around. There is an excellent variety of recipes based on different cuisines from around the world and they are all relatively simple to prepare. Best of all they are absolutely delicious. I have made quite a few of the dishes from this book and every single one of them has been a winner.
