Title: An accessible treat for lovers of food. Review: Whether you're looking to bone up on basics (perfect your roast chicken or bechamel for example) or discover something new (sole with chanterelles, or mascarpone, rum and lime cream perhaps), Lawson's unpretentious descriptions ("moussy calf's liver," "chickeny juices," "thick, squashy root vegetable stew") and self-effacing tone, ("When I cook with too much of an audience, I immediately worry about what'll happen if something goes wrong,") give you the feeling you're learning from another lover of food, a partner in kitchen crime. I love her short "discussions" before each selection of recipes, where she gives tips, anecdotes or simple memories about the recipes that follow. Grab a glass of wine and get your notebook (or post-its) ready before settling down with this one! Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Queen of the Kitchen Review: I purchased three of these knives about 5-7 years ago and have used them continually since. When one was lost and the other broken by misuse, I bought some new knives at a local store. After trying five different brands and still not finding anything satisfactory, I was thrilled to find this wonderful knife still available. It does everything it says. I make almost all my meals from scratch for a family of nine and after many years of heavy use it still works fine. I highly recommend this wonderful product. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: What a waste Review: This herb garden died faster than the time I spent researching it. The greens were fairly weak and didn't really get a chance to grow. Just dried up. I liked the pots and would have reused them had my husband not thrown them out. Is the review positive or negative?
