  1. Having had a look at section ‘Taste our truffles’ on this website, I understood the book was actually a collection of tips and tricks, but I was wondering whether it was possible to get a detailed Table of Contents? I searched on Lulu too, but I couldn’t find any. Where can I see it?

  2. Thanks for your question, Eric. There’s no table of contents (it’s a dip-into-it book), so the sample pages displayed by the online vendors — which are culled automatically from the front of the book — don’t tell you much. But you’ll find the full index below:
