This book is full of fabulous recipes. My son especially loves the "Holy Mole" nuts. But the book fell apart almost immediately - I would re-order it as I use it over and over, if it were spiral bound or soft-cover. As it is, I have to keep the pages now separately in a file folder!

This has a lot of old and new nut recipes. Trying to duplicate a great nut snack you had somewhere? Sampson probably has it in this book, or you can take the techniques she sets out and experiment. A good little book that I'm glad to have in my collection.

If you are as nuts about nuts as Sally Sampson is then you'll love this book. Then again, if you're not into making a LOT of different nut recipies you might want a general cookbook. Personally I found the recipies to be as good as one would hope and the presentation was solid (even if nobody would ever serve nuts in a martini glass).

Here are 50 recipes for the nut lover, the party giver, the snacker, the innovator, the hostess, the midnight nibbler, the kitchen experimenter, the entertainer, the cook, the non-cook, the culinary student...you name it. Sweet, spicy, savory, or just plain delicious, they're all here. With this book, plus the recipe for Bar Nuts from the Union Square cookbook, any nut lover will be set for life.
Plus: they're easy! What more could you want?
