This book is perfect for a girl like me.  I absolutely LOVE to cook and more than that I like gifting friends and family with items that I have made.When I received the book the first thing I noticed was the attention to detail.  There is not a step missed or a process overlooked.  A lot of times in my gourmet cookbooks a recipe will call for an item that I have never heard of, let alone know where to purchase.  Ms. Swanson has erased any concerns by having links included with each recipe.  There are links to sites that you can purchase the containers to store the products in, and links on where to buy the hard to find items.  I was really impressed.I have yet to sample any of the products I have made, though I will be soon.  I made some of the items today and am waiting the suggested amount of time before trying them.  I made the Sweet and Hot Mustard Spread and some Strawberry Lemonade infused Vodka.  The next item I am going to try is the Vanilla Extract.The book has chapters for easy navigation to the recipe you want to try and like I said the directions are idiot proof.  Step by Step, precise and detailed instructions that followed correctly guarantee success.  I can't wait to try the items already made and to make and gift many more.The recipes are a fun and unique way to appreciate friends, family members, co-workers or your neighbors.  I really enjoyed it!Cherise Everhard, June 2013
