Nearly falwless translation of the original book in French
Good book on additional ideas on creating gourmet burgers at home for yourself or as an extra special treat for potlucks or weekend grilling parties. The book contains mouth watering photos of the burgers created by the author and the staff of recipe testers. It is originally published in French and subsequently translated and published in English (besides the 1 paragraph/sentence that failed to be translated from French into English on page 27), and it was done for the most part very well. There were probably 2 different translators, as you can tell a pattern of one favoring the use of "hamburger buns" and the other favoring "burger buns" in the ingredients section of the cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow. The ingredients used are easily sourced for the most part. The only part I did not like is the use of "hamburger buns" almost used throughout the cookbook. From the picture you can tell that a variety of burger buns were used, so it would be nice to have a notation about suggested buns used for that specific recipe (like ciabatta bread, focaccia bread, potato buns, etc). Although for a few (9 out of the 60) recipes the author does specified using pita bread, English muffins, onion buns, brioche buns, Portuguese buns, and country bread. The author also stated that the ideal burger patties size is 3/4 lb, but the recipe all pretty much yield patties that are just north of the typical 1/4 lb (if you are to follow the 4 servings yield of each recipe and the starting meat portion of 1 lb). In future editions it would be nice to have the portions of ingredients used in the recipe scaled out in metric. That would make up-scaling or down-scaling the recipes much simpler. Final note: Even if you only end up making 5 out of the 60 burger recipes offered up in this book, it would still be worth it to have as a decoration on your coffee table.

Magnifico!
Un bellissimo libro di hamburger, ogni ricetta ha una bellissima immagine del burger (immagini di alta qualità ). Molte ricette anche particolari, ma sempre realizzabili, inoltre per ogni ricetta viene segnato il grado di sapore (più o meno piccante/dolce) e anche l'impatto sul portafoglio per l'acquisto degli ingredienti! Veramente un libro ben realizzato!!!
