Here's what The Thursday Night Gourmet Book Club thought of the book...
"What an adventure!, Loved it.. Enthralling throughout til the very end. Author has such a knack for vivid, visual descriptions for understanding the emotions of the characters and the use of little hints along the way." "It keeps you guessing thoughout."
The original recipe can be found on Alton Brown's Food Network site.
