Easy to follow book with quite a few pictures

For me, pictures are an important part of a recipe book, as I like to know how a recipe is -supposed- to turn out. I was happy to find that this raw dessert book by Ani Phyo had at least half the recipes with pictures of the completed dessert included. (If you have ever gotten Ani's other books, there are rarely pictures of the food, so I felt the need to point this out) It also has an intro on various important raw foods ingredients and small tips spread throughout the book. To some people the tips might be repeats, but I rather find her writing style enjoyable and perfect for beginners of raw desserts.

The contents are divided into categories that I find very easy to navigate, and my favourite thing though is that below the recipe title, she has little pictures of tools you will need in order to make that recipe. This is very helpful to glance and know if you are able to make it or not (for example the first recipe of the Pineapple Icebox Dessert has images of a food processor, a blender, and a loaf pan.) So its nice to glance and know if you have the tools/time to make something.

I wish every recipe had a picture, although I do understand it was likely done due to a size limitation from the publisher I can only assume. I would recommend this book especially to people who are new to raw foods, as it does not come across as overwhelming and its very user friendly.

This book has basic information such as part and functions of the various parts of different types of cameras.  It also has in-depth information for experienced photographers such as lighting and conducting a photo shoot.  Half of the book contains a variety of creative ways to use your photographs.  These projects may be geared toward more experienced photographers but the beginner can alter them to be more simple and work their way up to more advanced techniques.  My favorite part of the book is the way it's put together.  It is organized nicely yet fun and the language is not too technical.  The illustrations and design of the book demonstrates the author's knowledge and passion on photo arts.  EXCELLENT BUY if you have a vested interest in photographing children!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It gave a great overview of everything. It is designed for someone getting into the hobby like myself. The book is a little shorter than I expected, but all of the key elements are in there. Lots of pics and an easy read.

Cute book with lots of fun pictures. The information was interesting and presented in a fun way. My kids (ages 7, 9, and 11) really enjoyed it. There were even a few things in there that I didn't know, which really surprised me.

This book has a nice assortment of pictures. Some are less complex and smaller than others so it suits different moods.  I recommend it.

This book has a lot of pictures in it, which makes it really easy.  I always preferred picture books.

Anyways, this book actually is full of useful concise information.  All of photos are high quality, and there are several of them showing how the plants may look during different seasons.

My only complaint is that the book isn't smaller.  I'd like to be able to reasonably carry this in a small pack for reference in the field.  It'll fit in larger packs no problem, but if space in your pack is of any concern, this book probably won't make the cut.

I really like this book.  So far, I've only made one project, the lady's twinset.  The instructions are clear and easy to follow even without illustrations for each step.  There are pictures, front and back, of each project so you can follow along though.  I really like that there are pictures of each item by itself and also on a doll so that you can get an idea of the fit.  The pictures are great.

There are two things about the book that I could be critical of - the number of baby items and that the book is not spiral bound.  There are an awful lot of knitting patterns for baby dollhouse dolls and only a few for dollhouse doll children. (There's also a good number for dollhouse adult dolls).  Also, it's really hard to keep the book open when you're knitting so I've decided to take it to my local copier to have the spine taken off and have it spiral bound.  I would definitely recommend that for anyone wanting to actually knit the patterns.

Beautiful book - with great photos.  Not very many patterns, but a lot of detail for each of the patterns.

When this arrived I was pleasantly surprised by its' size and contents, there are a lot of well-written recipes in this book. The only reason I give a 4 rather than 5 is that I like to see more pictures. There is a middle section of pages in the book with quite a few color photos and each chapter has a black and white photo at the beginning, but the rest of the pages are a different material paper and no photos. Still, especially considering the price, I think this is a great buy.

Fun book with many pictures to color - a great variety which is what I like most about this book.  The pages are two sided though - each page has a picture on the front and back.

A very "Cool" book. I liked the very high quality of the pictures and, of course, the actual text given with each of the animals.

My ten year old daughter LOVES sharks and animals in general. She is really enjoying this book. It is shorter than I expected, but it seems to be a very appropriate length for my daughter. She didn't have any issues reading the text. The pictures really kept her looking through the book over and over again. She mentioned how each animal has two pictures, one of them in their natural state and one of them "attacking". I flipped through it a couple times to check out the pictures as well. The animals were neat to see with such detail and up close. Normally, you would not get a chance to really examine the Gila Monsters' skin as it's attacking. I spent some time actually taking in the normally unseen details of these creatures.

Again, I enjoyed this book almost as much as my daughter is still enjoying it. I will have to check out other books similar to this.

I received this book for a discounted rate or free in exchange for my honest review.
