I really dislike having to burst the bubble here on 5 star reviews but the reality is, this book needs editing! If you are going to target a book to a certain market (i.e. the USA) it is vital to have all the measurements in the correct format! The recipes switch from kilos and grams to pounds so no consistency. One recipe even lists 1/4 tablespoon for an item rather than listing it in teaspoons!1 piece red pepper, large? Presumably that means "1 large red pepper" as it is for kabobs and not just one piece.It is very obvious that this book has been pieced together with recipes from all over the world which is a great idea but some "reworking" of the measurements is needed.In the Sweet and Saucy Chicken Barbeque recipe, it suggests using the left over sauce for dipping but there is no mention of cooking the sauce. Whilst most folks will know to do this and using marinade as a dipping sauce is something we do frequently. others may not think to cook it! This sauce has had raw meat dipped in it - VERY important to cook before consuming!SO if you cook the marinade and you don't mind converting some of the recipes in this book, go for it as there are some nice recipes in here. Otherwise, find a different one.
