What we liked best:

1)Categorization of the recipes makes searching for a particular course or ingredient simple.

2)Tips provided at the end of recipes provide extra knowledge about food preparation.

3)Exquisite photography bring the dishes alive. If only the latter was tangible.

What we didn’t like:

1) It would be close to perfect if the preparation time for each recipe could have been included, to give an idea of how much time is required. Especially useful for dinner parties or a quick meal.

2) A ‘Drinks’ section, which could act as an alternative to desserts or an accompaniment alongside the dish or meal of the particular cuisine, would have been appropriate.

Our Verdict:

We give it 4.5/5 stars. It’s fool-proof. What else can we say?
