You will love the unique flavors of Bob Blumer’s recipes and want to try them constantly from this book. Your faith in his skills will enhance the taste of the special aromas that you would be creating.

The author sets out to explain why it would be best to use certain ingredients that will make the difference in the overall flavors by using sea salt or fresh herbs. Unusual treats like black olive spread, eggplant spreads and the caesar salad are great to prepare. He also instructs on some great simple techniques like using a good wooden bowl for making the Caesar. The tips at the end of each recipe, for wine and music are really inspiring.. This cook book has so much more to offer - good food, plenty of useful and practical tips, great artwork, and it makes for good reading too!
