The cookbook has beautiful and luscious photos throughout. The recipes focus on sweets, many have ingredients that are not found at your average Kroger and have a decidedly feminine feel to them--the stuff of cooking fantasies. Think lots of PINK.
A few recipes to peruse--Sugar Cookies with Edible Flowers, Lemon Lavender French Toast, Rhubarb Rose Floats (be sure and make the candied rose petals!), and Pistachio Rose Clouds. Not the stuff of your backyard BBQ. Or on the food palettes of any men I know.
The author explains that these are special recipes to make for friends that will make them feel special. What friend would not feel special with a recipe containing bee pollen??? I can see these special treats being made for girls' tea party birthday party. Why not give Think Pink Faloodas a try?
Ms. Cyd does not fill the book with photos of herself like other cookbook authors do--her food and photos shine. Would I love to have time to try some of the recipes? You Bet!! Would I love to shop in a grocery that stocks Nigella seeds??--but alas!
This would make a lovely coffee table book--and a fine page through on a cold winter day when you are eager to welcome spring.
Thank you to Blogging For Books who provided me with a copy for this review.
