This book really is all about soup which seems a little too specialized at first. But there are a few really excellent recipes in here that make it worth owning. I'm not sure about all the other recipes - they seem yummy and worth a try but I rely on this book more during the winter and when i do make soup it's usually to a specific request for one of the few hits I've tried (African peanut stew is a HUGE hit in our household)
I love this book. Every recipe has turned out yummy!
So far, everything I have made has been very good, but time consuming.
If you don't know about Barbara Kafka, you could do well by starting with this book.
Doug Rodriguez's Black Bean Soup, p.305, very good, cook beans longer.
