This is a prodigious cookbook - on first look it seems as if one has seen it all before, another nouvelle this or that. But probing deeper, there are some recipes which are spectacular: venison in blood sauce, and the wonderful pea cream soup with river shrimp, which is also very ingenious in the presentation. This one recipe I did try out, and my roommates all judged it to be perfect. You need to follow the explanations closely, but Müller writes transparently and the pictures are generous - not only the end result, but also some of the preparatory procedures.
