Luin suomenkielisen käännöksen tästä. Oli ihan hyvä, mutta tosi pintaraapastu aiheesta ja tosipaljon oijottu joissain kohdissa asioita. Reseptit on kiva lisä tähän.

Meh...

Some interesting tidbits about various spices. Interesting bathroom reading.

Only a few recipes at the end (which I have to admit I just found as i was glancing through it), but a good reference to have - small, short, and lots of pictures!
