Flavored Butters: Nuts, Dairy, Herbs, Fruit

If you are a novice like myself and are just learning how to prepare different foods and flavors, this book is a great book. Having no experience with food at all, besides the eating of it, this book has a great many ideas of how to prepare flavored butters for many a various occasions. The butters are fun, festive; the few pictures are bright and look oh so good. This is a great place to start on recipes for dinners, cocktail parties, etc. There are butters made with nuts (hazelnut, almonds, peanut); seafood; chocolate and spices such as basil, tarragon, chives and many more. I give it a four star because it is a near complete book. I was a bit bummed to see that there were no butters made with fruit. I guess that calls for another book or some experimentation on my part (ew! did I just say that :P .... Anyhow, Enjoy.
