This book is a great-looking gift and will appeal to somebody who likes cooking, but also is into classic rock music. The recipes are a play-on-words of some of classic rock songs, so to be an effective gift the recipient would ideally need to be familiar with the song names - otherwise it would be a bit meaningless. It's a really good quality book, if a little on the small size - like a large pocket book in size, rather than a full-sized recipe book. Nonetheless, I am very happy with this as a gift for somebody who is otherwise difficult to buy for.
