Extraordinary Book This is an extraordinary resource for any cook or person interested in tea. Like all cookbooks it has recipes, but it also can transport you to the various countries from where the recipes came. The pictures are fabulous. The instructions for the recipes are easy to follow. Most of the ingredients are not hard to find. Using tea as one of the ingredients in a recipe creates new and exciting dishes that have an alluring taste and good presentation. Gold’s tea expertise is remarkable and Stern’s ability to create clear directions is impressive. The introductory material on tea has new things for everyone. The book is very well written. I highly recommend the book. It would be a wonderful gift for lovers of tea and cooks of all levels and abilities.
