Review: Good Recipes, generally converted to US
Rating: 4 out of 5

These luscious recipes are converted from a UK cookbook and have photos, preparation time, and well written instructions.As with all recipe books from across the pond, there are some difficulties in understanding some of the information given, and differences in ingredients, some of which can only be found in gourmet shops (if at all in the US), or made by hand. A quick example is vanilla sugar and vanilla flour. If you know where you can find a sachet of vanilla sugar flour is, these will be practical. Otherwise, you will need to pick and choose, or perhaps substitute ingredients.Still, the recipes are well written. I wish the recipes included portion sizes, which would be good to go along with the nutritional information.Regarding the Kindle formatting. It does not indicate that it has a table of contents, but it does, and all links go directly to the recipes. On the nutritional information - it is provided in a chart format, and at least on my Kindle App for the iPad, did not show correctly, I had to use an arrow to move through the chart.Well researched, and one of the best attempts at conversion that I have seen on these cookbooks. It would be so much easier if we could visit one anothers stores to purchase the requisite ingredients.
