Hi All

Has anyone had a chance to try any recipes from this book yet?  It gets a lot of good reviews on amazon, although I do not always think that counts for much!

I've got Dan's seafood book and really enjoy it. As does the wife as she's not the carnivore I am.

Specifically, how do the results you've achieved from his BIR type recipes, compare with dishes actually served by the best BIRs? Or are they just approximations of food prepared by below-average BIRs, as so often seems to be the case?

To be fair, I rarely order seafood in BIRs so a one to one comparison is difficult. And, I tend to wing it at some point during the recipe adding my own twist, but on the whole I enjoy them.

Sorry but I didn't mean just seafood. Have you tried any/many of his non-seafood recipes?

I'm still on Dan's mailing list.  His latest thing seems to be cheese burger recipes.  Not got around to any of his books.  Some interesting stuff on the website now-and-then, usually when he gets an invite to a restaurant/kitchen.
