I was very excited when I got this book as the photos looked lovely and I know that Linda Collister's recipes are usually fool-proof. However, this is the American edition, which I've found very difficult to use. It refers to things like "one stick butter" (which I think is 120 grams), and fiddly measurements like 3/4 cup plus two tablespoons. Also, the terminology for the food is a little difficult - I think "bittersweet" is what we call dark chocolate.
I've tried to work out what the recipes mean in English (rather than American), but ended up with a disappointingly flat cake. So unless you are familiar with American recipes, then buy one of her UK editions. I find weight measurements so much easier!
