I just got this cookbook and I love it already !! First impression opening the carton, it is big. I did not expect a book of this size and this thick (310 pages). It really "beautiful cookbook". The pages are matte and good quality. I think this year my family will receive a book of recipes for Christmas ;-). There are 4 recipes per spread (sometimes 1 per page) and 25 "cult brands" represented. Basically, there are 200 pages of sweet recipes and 100 pages of salt. As I receive I have not yet tested the recipes but this should not delay.
