Apologies, SueA

I was a bit caustic, wasn't I? Didn't mean to put it down quite so hard, some of the recipes look lovely, but the design and layout irritate me (and my arthritis was playing up). I do find it awkward to turn the pages for some reason, and there are too many 'artistic' pictures for my liking - give me the facts and I'm happy, but some of the photos don't even show what the dish ought to look like (which is what I thought cookery photography was about!) If I want art I go to a gallery or paint/draw/photograph my own!

Probably something to do with the time of the month and me getting a year older last week! Had an attack of the grumps last night. Sorry.

I'm glad you like the book and concede that some of the recipes sound great. I will probably try some too.
