If you are a novice like myself and are just learning how to prepare different foods and flavors, this book is a great book. Having no experience with food at all, besides the eating of it, this book has a great many ideas of how to prepare flavored butters for many a various occasions. The butters are fun, festive; the few pictures are bright and look oh so good. This is a great place to start on recipes for dinners, cocktail parties, etc. There are butters made with nuts (hazelnut, almonds, peanut); seafood; chocolate and spices such as basil, tarragon, chives and many more.

I give it a four star because it is a near complete book. I was a bit bummed to see that there were no butters made with fruit. I guess that calls for another book or some experimentation on my part (ew! did I just say that :P .... Anyhow, Enjoy.

This is the very best recipe book I have ever purchased, and I have hundreds of them ! It is short sweet [no pun intended] and to the point with beautiful photos and simple and flavorful recipes for compounded butters . A lot of thought went into this little book. The author is a very knowledgeable chef. Knows his ingredients and the ones that work best together.
I believe a "must have" in everyone's kitchen.
