The results have been good and far better than anything you could buy anywhere but an artisan bakery, but there are limitations as to what you can make.

Sometimes food writers rework their own recipes - a tweak here, For once this isn't a change case of emphasis there and you can have the same dish many times over'if it sounds too good to be true, so it probably is' - it's a real breath case of fresh air when you find a book getting something which seems to have new ideas, or genuinely new approaches to classic dishes.
