About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
- The RRP for the hardback is £80. It is often reduced but still an expensive book. I don't see the point of buying a 4,000 page book in paperback -I'm sure it would end in tears [pun intended].
- I got this the last time it was on offer a couple of years ago. I find its better read on a tablet than my [admittedly ancient] kindle. There isn't an index. There is a contents list at the beginning of the book with a list of chapters. There is a chapter for each letter of the alphabet. Each chapter is in 2 parts: the first gives background information of what Yorkshire pudding or Zabiglione or whatever is and the second part gives recipes.
- There's nothing quite like this book for the background information, especially about french cookery.
- You can buy kindle books as a gift, so this could be a nice surprise for friends or family who are interested in this
