Summary: A book to keep
Comment: I thought to give this book to a friend, but then I read it and decided that the creative ideas were so good and unusual, and the practical tips were so helpful that I would keep it myself, and give away the finished products she describes rather than the book itself. I have just made the hazelnut shortbread, and altho' I knew the tip about rubbing toasted hazelnuts in a cloth to remove the brown skin, she suggested a damp terry towel, and the dampness is the key! It was so much easier than with the dry towel I used before.
If you can bear to give it away, it would make a lovely present.

Summary: A Book for Friends (and for You)
Comment: I confess. Though I consider myself a fairly competent cook, I have always been afraid to make jam, or preserves, or anything that had the potential to maim or kill if not done correctly. So I was delighted to receive a copy of "Food for Friends" as a gift. Ms. Vargas' easy-to-follow instructions gave me the confidence I needed to make my first-ever batch of jam: blueberry-raspberry, which she recommends for beginners. It was easy and delicious and no one died from eating it!! I have tried a few more of the recipies, and found them also easy to follow and lovely to give as presents. "Food for Friends" - in addition to providing wonderful gift ideas from your kitchen - also makes a terrific holiday gift itself, for that special cook in your life. Beautifully illustrated and CLEARLY written, it's a winner!

Summary: DISAPPOINTING
Comment: I found this book disappointing. There weren't really any new ideas for presentation that I hadn't seen before. There were very few recipes that actually appealed to me.
