I have had this book and used it often but just figured out I have the hard cover version also

These are great recipes!

Jeff Smith's recipes, explanations, instructions, and commentary never fail to impress. I don't often use his recipes but I do turn to his books when I'm doing research or just want to know more about food. His books are important because of his depth of knowledge and the research he put into them.

I always keep a copy of this book around, I love the recipes and the suggestions. Jeff Smith was great, one of a kind!

Interesting and educational, as always.
