This book has single handedly changed the way I cook. At times it was trying to take the longer route and execute the items exacally as TK writes them in the book, but really I have never been steered wrong and have never come across so many recipes that are just outstanding. I find myself using the same techniques and the same thinking when making other dishes. I plan on cooking my way through the whole book....perhaps then I'll have to update this review, but I highly recommend those who have a passion about cooking to buy this book. Most things in this book take time to make, but are well worth the effort. The wisdom that pours through the pages were enough for me to buy the book even without cooking any recipes. Enjoy!
