Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Good recipes for food combinations, but I have two problems with the book as written.
1. The recipes are written in paragraph format, which is fine, but they could have and should have been written with the ingredients highlighted or in bold face type, or on a separate list, so that you can easily look through the recipe to see if you have the ingredients at home. As written, you almost have to rewrite the recipes to be able to use them quickly, and who has time for that?
2. Often you'd have a recipe, broken up with commentary, that has variations of the recipe afterwards. Again, the recipes and variations should be together, on the same or facing pages.
I hope these shortcomings are fixed in a future edition. I don't mind writing in a cookbook occasionally, but this one practically requires at the very least that you go through and highlight ingredients, or go through and put the recipes (or formulas, or whatever you'd like to call them) on recipe cards for ease of use. Also, there is more commentary than there are recipes.
Borrow from the library first. The opinions against recipes, well, for many things you don't need a recipe, true, unless you want to replicate the dish for uniformity standards (yours or someone else's). Nothing wrong with that.
