[.ca] Fig Heaven: 70 Recipes for the World's Most Luscious Fruit (ISBN 006053849X)

Fabulous Figs:
An absolutely incredible book on figs - from the mythical and biblical history to the botany and cultivation to the recipes, Fig Heaven is the definitive fig cookbook. For those of us without access to fresh figs on a regular (if ever) basis, Simmons supplies recipes that utilize a number of dried figs that are available year round in most larger grocery and specialty stores. Recipes are easy to follow and very good! From simple salads, desserts and even preserves to my favorite dinner (chicken, couscous, and dried fig salad with toasted almonds)Simmons covers a range of tastes and styles. A fabulous gift book, especially if you can give it along with a young fig tree! Perfect for a new home owner or newlywed!
