A bit hit and miss, but worth the effort
I found I have had to adapt or alter pretty much every recipe out of this book I've tried, but believe me - the results were worth it. Sometimes all I had to do was add a little egg, or a little more spice. The results have been pretty superb once I do get the recipe right, and even though I have been leaving out the xantham gum I still found their recipes worked. The chocolate muffins were great when made into chocolate chip muffins, the raisin-choc-coconut cookies were the best straight out of the oven - with an extra egg thrown into the mix, etc. Their Bolognese sauce was also really easy, and particularly good with extra tomato and spice. It's certainly given me a lot of ideas, and the photographs are just stunning.
