This cookbook is excellent
I purchased the cookbook for a gift but have made several recipes from it myself. My guests complemented me on all the wonderful tasting dishes. I shared one of the deserts with a friend and both her guest and mine were very pleased. Ina's instructions are very easy to understand and she tells one step by step how to prepare all the ingredients. Ina does a great job. I would purchase this for another gift.
