Title: Beautiful to look at, but puh-leeze!
Product review: The photos are lovely and the chef obviously loves his subject (hence two stars, not one), but really--4 cups kohlrabi juice? 3 tbsp. chopped primroses? Opal basil--like regular won't work? Several recipes with over 20 ingredients each, some of which say "recipe follows" so they're not really an ingredient but another recipe? And no substitutions suggested so just in case your corner store is out of, say, hedgehog mushrooms or Cape gooseberries, you can still make an approximation?I am an adventurous cook, and can get a lot of ethnic, organic, and/or exotic ingredients, but this sounds more like hard labor than working with the fruits of the earth--the kind of recipes where you cook to impress rather than to enjoy the process or the product.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
