This book has some good recipes and beautiful photos, but it has one huge negative: the teeny tiny type! I've never encountered a cookbook with such small type. It's difficult enough to sit and read the book, but going back and forth when you're cooking is almost impossible. It would be worth paying a few more dollars to make the book more readable.
