At $5 (UP$23.90) for a book with more than 100 tried-and-tested recipes,
I think it's a pretty good deal :)
Another book that caught my eye was this one on garnishing. To me, food is as much an art as it is a science. And a nicely decorated dish only enhances its taste. So at $5 for 128 pages, I grabbed it!
It covers everything from tools of trade, vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers, dairy, sauces, chocolate...
Every page is bursting with colour!
This one below shows the countless ways a tomato can be used as a garnish.
Cucumbers ~ Carrots & Zucchini ~ Eggs
Chocolate ~ Marzipan
Okay, enough of the crap.
This is the REAL reason why I bought this book:

Woah! What great indulgence! I can't wait for you to try out the recipes and share with us! Will you? :p
Hi Jane,
Of course I will share. But Bakertan just told me that he also has one of the books, and he tried out 4 recipes and he gave all of them the thumbs down. Oh well... if I do try them out, will report the results :)
Wah! Is the borders sale still on. Haha I don't read books too except baking/cooking books. HAHAHA I find other books too boring...
Sheryl,
The sale was only last weekend. But you didn't miss much. I was told the book on cupcakes and cheesecakes is not great - the recipes need a lot of tweaking. Anyway, these bookstores are always on sale. Look out for ads or sign up for their mailing lists and you'll be the first to know if there's a sale :)
wowwww...lots of recipe books...can't wait to be shared on your blog...
