I really enjoy this book and its content. There a recipes for your own homemade flavored oils and vinegars, some exotic but still usable in the culinary world and some ordinary, yet wonderful. What can be better than homemade infused condiments? Along with these concoctions are a wide arrange of recipes from the orient to south of the border, utilizing these bottled golds. And information on how to experiment and create your own flavored infusion. What a wonderful book!
