If you want to spend 8 dollars to get a paper copy of a bunch (well really not that many) of recipes that are easy to find on the internet, go right ahead. I wish I hadn't.

This book was extremely disappointing. I bought it expecting it to talk about how to make cordials, instead it teaches how to mix alcohol and syrup. To me, cordial making starts with a raw ingredient (fresh fruit, nuts, herbs, and/or flowers) and then continues from there. If you are interested in learning how to begin making cordials or in gaining new ideas or techniques, look elsewhere. The reason it is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because there is a little bit of useful information on making extracts, but that informaiton is definitely not worth the price of the book.

This is by far the best Irish Cream recipe that I've tried. I have to disagree with the guy who said that these recipes are easy to find on the internet. He obviously didn't make this recipe. Speaking from experience...I can tell you that Irish Cream made with sweetened condensed milk and eggs does not pass the muster. This recipe uses neither and tastes superb. As you can tell I am an Irish Cream fanatic!

I found this book an easy way to experiment in the kitchen. It was fun to try new things at a low cost and it made great gifts that were unique & different.

Ive used this book for years (1995), the directions are simple and the recipes are spot on. I can stock my liqueur cabinet for special occasions and do it for pennies on the dollar. Everyone is amazed how good everything tastes after I tell them its homemade. This was written before the internet was what it is today and believe me the recipes are much better than what you find on the internet.

I was very dissappointed to receive basically a small pamplet with very little information or variety of recipes. There are definitely other books that are much more informational and offer many more recipes.

What a great book for people who have a little time and want to make something really special.
