What a great resource book! One of those books you want to sit down and read through, cover to cover....which will be quite a feat; it's quite big and thick :)
From quickly perusing it, I noticed that (unfortunately) most of the [fantastic] recipes are scaled to a professional kitchen's size; Gourmet-BBQ sauces that make 3 quarts....stuff like that. Easy to pare those down to a household size, but not the baking...
Great book, though!
