Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Shipping

Secondly, how amazon shipped the two i bought (as gifts) leaves a lot to be desired.

Packaging/appearance

The books were just thrown into a box with no wrapping.

These books came without any exterior wrapping and the covers were really dirty (and the book cover edges as well).

I haven’t tried all the recipes, but they look yummy.

Competitiveness

However, i came to this book from the jerusalem cookbook by ottolenghi, which is seriously the best cookbook i have ever purcha... Read More
