I purchased the Medium size tagine and the spicy stews recipe book as a Christmas gift for my wife, who wanted a tagine for a long time. I received my order promptly after placing a phone order with ... read more
When I called to report my finding, I again had the extreme pleasure of speaking with Mary, who promised to ship out a brand new complete tagine...and since we recieved the second item two days later, I know she made good on her commitment. We haved used the tagine twice since Christmas and love it immensely. It is so very easy to use and makes absolutely delicious meals. But, keep in mind that if you do not order the brazier, you DO need to buy a heat diffuser for use on a gas OR electric range. As to the cookbook we ordered, we are really looking forward to trying all the tasty recipes. And, as wonderful products as the tagine and cookbook are, the customer service is just as outstanding. Mary is courteous, customer friendly, and takes care of business how and when she promises...she ROCKS! -JW Dickinson
