This is an excellent cookbook. It puts me very much in mind of some others that I think highly of as well, such as Flavor Kitchen by Crystelle Pereira or Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. The book is gigantic, and full of wonderful pictures - it is gorgeous to flip through. And, the recipes are many and varied, and there are so many I am looking forward to making. However, for me, the best part of this book is the first 150 pages, where the author goes deep on cooking to create flavor and shares all sorts of great info about ingredients, techniques, and more to really improve and enhance the reader's cooking. So valuable, at least for me. I definitely recommend this one if it looks at all interesting to you.
