5.0 out of 5 stars
Great chef! Great cookbook!!
The chocolate macadamia nut tart in this book is one of my foolproof desserts! It is a bit more complex for the average cook, but the results are divine! The cookie-like crust of this tart is worth the trouble.

One Star Too Many
The food and recipes look fabulous but alas, the recipes are unreliable. I tried the Lemon Tart ( I am an experienced cook) and it was more like sour lemon soup. I was suspicious when the recipe called for only 4 teaspoons of sugar and 1/2 cup of lemon juice so I expected it might not be sweet enough, how ever it was not only not sweet, it never thickened and the dough...

I was suspicious when the recipe called for only 4 teaspoons of sugar and 1/2 cup of lemon juice so I expected it might not be sweet enough, how ever it was not only not sweet, it never thickened and the dough recipe yeilded shrinking dough! This book is one more reason why you should think twice before buying a book by a restaurant owner and professional chef. Skip it.
