Illustrated with colour photos. 480pp Comment from Regina Parsons at Wide Bay Branch of the RFCA: "What I particularly liked was the index at the front. Don't you hate having to try and hold open a big book whilst searching the index at the back. Another great feature is that you can see at a glance the description of the fruit or nuts flavour because it is printed in a different colour. You immediately know if the flavour appeals to your without searching through the entire description."
