Thank you, that’s very helpful!
My book has arrived. This is what my book looks like & it is hardcover.
The book condition was ‘used - very good’ and it actually is ‘new’! The spine has not been cracked & I think I am the first person to look through the pages. There is one small ‘dink’ on the top edge of the front cover which is probably what took it out of the ‘new’ category - not a bother to me, especially at $6.88 & free delivery. I have had really good luck buying used books from Amazon - I rarely buy a new book any more.
Looking through the book, there are 7 carrot soup recipes & I think I am going to make the “Spicy Carrot and Orange Soup”. I have everything except 2 leeks, orange juice & an orange. Orange juice was on my grocery list anyway. The recipe takes 12 carrots so that would use up quite a few of 5 lb. bag.
The rest of the recipes I have seen look good - I will be working my way through the other recipes for sure :-)
