It’s ok, but I see that a lot of his book had been ripped from better books that could easily and cheaply be owned. I don’t the author tried too hard to make this book. As an example, I found direct plagiarizations of Elizabeth Davis’s “English Potted Meats and Fish Pastes” which was a booklet published in 1968. That booklet is now hard to find and very expensive, but it was reproduced in its entirety in her book, “An omelette and a glass of wine.” That book is incredible, Elizabeth David was a very interesting and well-researched food writer. Another great well thought out book is “Terrines, Pates & Galantines” from Time life’s the good book series. Used copies can be found at a very low price and that’s an amazing series of books. Simone Sekers book pales in comparison to these two, but it doesn’t hurt to have it on the shelf as a third bit of reference.

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
