with foreword from Rick Stein, an introduction and a concise index.
Each chapter opens with a relevant introduction, followed by the recipes, which are clearly laid out with the title, the attribution, relevant text, the list of ingredients, the number of servings and a clearly numbered method.
This book is also interspersed with information pieces, black and white on location shots and nostalgia.
It is perhaps light on photographs of the finished dishes, but having said that, the ones that are pictured are mouth-watering (please see above images).
