Title: just not good enough...
Product review: i received this cookbook as a gift recently and was eager totest it out....i wasn't impressed really.there are very few directions as to the timing of each step inthe recipes, and the recipes themselves aren't very fresh ormouthwatering...most are very "classic" items that seem quitedated, as well as heavy and unhealthful...some directions torecipes are overlooked completely, very confusing for a novice..(which i am not....)i use JOY OF COOKING all the time and will continue to do so, also MADELEINE KAMMAN'S MAKING OF A COOK (an absolute bible!)i do not recommend the NEW YORK TIMES COOKBOOK for any level ofhome cook.
