The 100 choices include dazzling starters and sides, entrees, and desserts, as well as selections for both casual entertaining and more formal occasions.

There are definitely some nice recipes in this book but i wasn't drawn to any of them enough to actually recreate them for myself. Seemed too simple for my taste preferences but i prefer lots of spices and herbs in my food so that's personal preference and not the book's fault.

Very excited by the number of new recipes to try. Although as a non-vegetarian I found a lot of the ingredients intimidating.
