My secret santa bought me the most beautiful cookbook I've ever laid eyes on. I'm an adventurous cook, but my skill is intermediate at most. This book strikes an amazing balance, It's chock-a-block with recipes from all over the world, but every recipe has full color step by step pictures. I'm just floored by this book. Armed with this book I will soon rain beautiful pictures of exotic dishes down on /r/food

They will say "Please our eyes cannot handle anymore of your culinary brilliance" and I will laugh and continue making dishes until I have completed all 450 recipes. (this probably won't happen :p )

In closing, Thank you to my secret santa and whatever comes next is all your fault and you only have yourself to blame.
