Hiya Stef,

I would say that the book is good enough for our culinary shelves, more
of a "neat book to own" rather than a reference for our studies. I
seriously doubt there is anything in the volume that most of us dont
already know or haven't had some experience with. It does however,
"talk" more to the mundane with an eye to somewhat educate. I think it
was worth the 26.95 I paid for it, if for nothing than to amuse me with
its little tidbits that it imparts. I also did our 12th Night Pot Luck
this year from it.
