Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First, this book is so beautifully made. The pictures are great. The recipes easy to read. Second, I am not a chef or cook. This was the first and only cookbook I have every purchased. But the "Sweet Potato, Wild Barley, and Chicken" soup just called out to be made. I did it, even creating my own stock per the instructions. My wife (a GREAT cook) could not believe what she was seeing. I even bought a 20 quart All Clad stock pot. Now she really couldn't believe what was happening. But I tell you, that soup was THE BEST. Third, my wife now makes several of the soups found in this book on a regular basis. Fourth, I am now buying this book for others in my family. A gem.
