This book was extremely disappointing. I bought it expecting it to talk about how to make cordials, instead it teaches how to mix alcohol and syrup. To me, cordial making starts with a raw ingredient (fresh fruit, nuts, herbs, and/or flowers) and then continues from there. If you are interested in learning how to begin making cordials or in gaining new ideas or techniques, look elsewhere. The reason it is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because there is a little bit of useful information on making extracts, but that informaiton is definitely not worth the price of the book.

I was very dissappointed to receive basically a small pamplet with very little information or variety of recipes. There are definitely other books that are much more informational and offer many more recipes.

This is by far the best Irish Cream recipe that I've tried. I have to disagree with the guy who said that these recipes are easy to find on the internet. He obviously didn't make this recipe. Speaking from experience...I can tell you that Irish Cream made with sweetened condensed milk and eggs does not pass the muster. This recipe uses neither and tastes superb. As you can tell I am an Irish Cream fanatic!
