Title: Thanks a lot, Emeril
Product review: Emeril Lagasse wrote the Foreword, and was a factor in my decision to buy it. I may not have given this cookbook a full chance yet, but I am greatly unimpressed so far. I was put off at first just browsing through it by heavy reliance on ingredients like lots of grated American cheese and Velveeta, as another reviewer mentioned. I tried two recipes so far. The Chile con Carne was mediocre; you can do better with an envelope of French's Chili-o. The "Best Tex-Mex Enchiladas" were awful. I made a full batch and froze a bunch as suggested, and ended up throwing them away.
