I had this little book as a gift ... I'll crack for version "sugary soft", so the salty version allows the entire family to enjoy the evening with a salad, tomato or other vegetables or entry. .. a treat. I do not hesitate to add my personal touch as there for the "soft smoked salmon, green asparagus heart", I added more, an icicle hollandaise sauce was simply divine. the recipes are quick to prepare, easy to realized. I do not hesitate to extend the freezing time icy hearts. a little book to have in your cookbook collection.
