Perfect British baking book with just a few DISCLAIMERS
This is a great book with lots of staple recipes. Definitely worth the purchase. BUT, for those, like me, who live at higher altitude, you will need to modify some of the recipes to have them work. I used the King Arthur flour website to print off their suggestions for what to remove or add more of for altitude (big thing is I did not need any baking powder, just self rising). My Victoria Sponge went from looking like a dish to beautifully risen and perfect!
Also, for some, you may not be used to the English type of consistency for some things. Back to the Victoria Sponge. Came out just like I remember from my childhood in England. Be advised though, this cake has a different consistency than typical American white cakes. It is more dense. Perhaps on the verge of pound cakeish and buttery (you can sub half marg and half butter if you wish).
Lastly, you might end up investing in some baking pans/cake pans after getting this book. I am used to cooking English recipes so I have them already. What I am talking about is that quite often, cakes in England are cooked in 8 inch round pans instead of the 9 inch used in the US. You can certainly use the US pans or adapt the recipe (various websites that will calc quantity changes for you), but if you want to follow along precisely then 8 inch cake pans are the way to go. I use the Chicago dark ones available online. Work great for me. The trays for tray bakes are slightly different size pans from UK to US pans also.
Hope that helps. Book has loads of recipes. Many old handed down ones. Perhaps a bit light on pictures of the finished product so if you don't know what something is or what it looks like then you'll need to look up pictures online to see and then follow the MB recipe if it looks good. Bottom line. For me, worth the money.

Should have really bought better
2 of 5 found this helpful These speakers are okay. Not top level speakers by any means. If you've listened to high end quality speakers then you will definitely notice the difference with these. I'd rank them in with if you just wanted something to listen to, did not want to spend a lot of cash on them, then these might be okay. To get the best sound out of them I feel you really need an eq to try to overcome their frequency short comings.
Another point that I felt was a bit sub standard was that they do NOT come with speaker grilles. You have to buy those separately! This was something I took for granted maybe and did not read close enough. To have to go out and spend another $20 on grilles I may as well have purchased the Type R speakers.
In hindsight I should have not been lazy and gone ahead and done the conversion work to put in 6.5 components as I thought of doing. At the very least, if I'd have realized the grille issue I should have just gone for the Type R ones.
You definitely get what you pay for here.
