What you might not be expecting is such a well-produced and high quality little hardback. Definitely a cut above the norm.
Personally, I loathe Marmite, but have nevertheless enjoyed this book (I bought it as a present for a friend who would bathe in the stuff if she could). The recipes and ideas are varied and span everything from the truly simple right through to more complex dishes and ideas. It would have been nice if the 'extras' at the back went into a bit more detail about the history and the manufacture of the product - but what's there is interesting as a 'taster'.
If you're really keen on this goo, try searching the internet - there are a lot of fascinating and whacky websites out there.

For the millions of Marmite lovers out there, this is a must-have book. Loads of new recipes involving the famous spread. These range from the simple (eg Marmite Corn Fritters) to the complicated and exotic (eg Lamb Kofte and Crispy Cabbage, or Panini with Marmite Tapenade, Taleggio and Sweet Peppers). Even those who claim to hate Marmite might be tempted. As an added bonus, there's also a brief history of Marmite as well as some alternative uses.
Not sure if anything will beat the masterful simplicity of Marmite on toast for breakfast though!
