Nice book with loads of great Panini ideas. Vivid, glossy pictures make everything look mouth-watering! I gave this as part of a gift basket I put together along with some wonderful mustards, olive oil, crusty bread,a bottle of wine etc. It was very well received and I purchased a second copy for myself. Enjoy and happy pressing!
