I read the table of contents thinking to myself how on earth has someone managed to come up with 30 different tomato ketchup recipes? Prior to reading the book, I haven't noted the sub-title on the book and thus didn't know about the pleasant surprise of 30 different recipes.The first thing I immediately appreciated was a "prep section" where the author goes into detail why one would want to make healthy home-made ketchups instead of using the commercial variants.Then as a relatively inexperienced cook as myself, I was given a basic list of utensils I'll need to cook these ketchups. Of course as the author mentions, most recipes by top chefs (with all due respect and no offense intended) make use of complete and professional chef's cooking-sets - non-existent to most inexperienced or aspiring cooks. I was pleasantly surprised that I already own the utensils for these recipes.At this point in time the sugar-free ketchup recipe attracts me the most. However, with this extensive list of recipes and the endless possibilities it presents, the author may very well have equipped me with ideas to come up with a few of my own sugar-free variants.If ketchup is your thing, you don't need anything else than this book to get started and have you enjoying ketchup with friends and family for ages to come.
