Brilliant that it arrived just in time for my partner's birthday. Apparently it's THE cook's bible and it definitely looks impressive. It's basically a dictionary /encyclopaedia of anything you could possibly think of to do with cooking with a handy general index and a recipe index in case you get lost in the mass of text and pages that is the book.
I definitely got a good deal on the price, with the money I saved I managed to get a second present too.
