I only bought this really to get the "recipe" for Jimmy's classic margarita. Nothing ever comes close! I've enjoyed the food recipes, although converting all the time from US measurements to UK can be tiresome. The index is also a pain. I'm not interested in the page number for the PICTURE of the recipe - I just want the recipe! I've done a few of the recipes now and the Beer & Cola pulled pork recipe is definitely dodgy. It tasted and looked nothing like the one in the book. The Jalapeno Mac & Cheese though is a triumph! There's some decent stuff in here overall and it was definitely worth buying.

I recently stayed at the MargaritaVille Resort in Hollywood Florida and it was FABULOUS! It had the best Margarita drinks I ever had, by far. I had to buy the cookbook when I saw it on Amazon. The book is beautiful with great pictures and very easy recipes. I tried a few and they were very tasty. I leave the book on my kitchen counter so I can feel I'm on vacation. It works!
Ich muss gestehen, Jimmy Buffet war mir kein Begriff, weder als Musiker noch als Restaurantbesitzer.
Die Bilder im Buch sind absolut der Hammer und erwecken akutes Fernweh.
Die Rezepte sind eher Fisch / Shellfisch lastig, macht aber nicht viel aus. Ich werde sicher in nächster Zeit Salatsaucen ausprobieren und den Gurkendrink.
Es ist ein Kochbuch, aber auch ideal für den Coffee table.
