MORE than a "recipe pamphlet",

This review is from: Discovering Caviar (America's Home Chefs) (Perfect Paperback)
This is actually a VERY interesting book about caviar. It is far more than a "recipe pamphlet" as described by another reviewer. It literally has everything you need to know about caviar sources, serving, and storage. But, the real wonders of this book are the 101 incredibly creative recipes for serving caviar and incorporating it into your cooking. I could not be more pleased with this book and am slowly working my way through all of its superb recipes. This is a true "guidebook" to caviar.

This review is from: Discovering Caviar (America's Home Chefs) (Perfect Paperback)
I was so excited before I got this book..I had tried caviar a few times and loved it but was intimidated to order it in the few restaurants that serve it because I didnt know enough about it to even know the etiquette involved in eating it or the different types of caviar...I was hoping this book would do that for me and it DID'NT!!! I wanted to know more about the price range of caviars...I wanted a brief description of the domestic caviar and the authors opinion on what she liked... Maybe some inexpensive types to try and experiment with,and maybe a higher priced "splurge" caviar for a special occasion...I was hoping to get some on line sources for caviar..NOPE!!!well I dont know any more about caviar than I did before I wasted 11.00 for a recipe book that will fit in your shirt pocket...its TINY!!! no mention whatsoever of the caviar we see un refrigerated in grocery stores (black lumpfish.) I bet thats the only caviar 99% of us have ever tried!!! I was expecting more...the search continues....I was disappointed.
