TSG Review
As you can see by the number of recipes I have made in the past few weeks, this book is something I am really enjoying. The recipes a very simple to make and easy to follow. Add on short cooking times and you have a winner. Many of these recipes are under half an hour to make. If they have longer cooking times its often because its slow cooked. You don’t even need to do anything but wipe the drool from your bottom lip as you wait for your dinner to be ready! Kimball takes recipes from around the globe and puts his kitchen-chemistry spin on them; strange little steps that make each dish a little better than you would expect it to be.
