Title: Too involved for home cooking
Product review: This book is loaded with good photos of Emeril and his crew, but comes up short on practical dishes the average cook can prepare. Many recipes involve ingredients that are only found at specialty markets, which are few and far between outside of major cities.Also, many dishes require extensive preparation of, for lack of a better word, "sub-dishes". For example, making the empanadas requires the cook to make the dough, prepare the fillings, and prepare two types of toppings; each step is a difficult recipe in and of itself.If you like Emeril and enjoy the challenge of restaurant cooking, this book might be good for you. If you'd rather leave the fancy fare to the pros who do it best, then skip the book and spend the money at the restaurant instead.
