The Essential New York Times Cookbook: The Recipes of Record

Ich habe dieses Buch als Mitbringsel für meine Schwester ausgewählt. Das Erscheinungsbild wirkt solide, die Papierqualität ist ansehnlich. Beim Durchblättern ist die Lesbarkeit gut, auch wenn ich mir noch nicht den gesamten Inhalt angesehen habe. Die Bindung scheint für den Transport in Ordnung zu sein.

This is a very unusual book. This books contains enough recipes to keep you busy for a very long time. It doesn’t give you whole meals but rather single components. Each recipe tells you what other recipe goes with what you’re cooking and gives you enough ideas to create entire meals. Some of the recipes are extremely simple, others not so much. So far all of them have been incredible tasty and some were quite unusual. Some ingredients are very specific and I’m not sure I can get all of them here in Europe. Same probably goes for people living in small towns. If you’re creative you should be able to substitute. Personally I love this book and I think it will keep me occupied for a long time. I would only really recommend it for people who are passionate about cooking. I don’t think it would appeal to anyone else. It’s huge and definitely an eyecatcher, when I received it I understood the price. I really like and think that it will definitely expand my cooking horizon.
