I have a lot of cookbooks, and we've had a few attempts at bashing out some home brew before, from kits and experimentations, but we've lost heart with it lacking inspiration and direction.
This book is a very stylish addition to our cookbook collection, on par with any of the River Cottage books, clear, instructional and beautiful to look at it's inspired us to go make mead and maybe some of the delicious looking limoncello. Best of all it makes the very complex world of home brew from scratch seems easy and very manageable, even as part of a busy life.
