This book is written by an American for Americans and this is made plain by checking the ingredients . Eg. Liquid Smoke; Boston Butt and Cilantro.
I bought this book for a young relation who was moving into his first home and had little experience of cooking. However, he did have a slow-cooker and with just 5 ingredients - so I thought - it would not be difficult to cook simple and nourishing food. Most of the recipes had nearer 10 rather than 5 ingredients and some of the ingredients were very confusing to say the least. The book has proved to be totally unsuitable and I shall be returning it and requesting a refund.
