Title: Decent cook book.
Review: The recipes in this book are a bit on the "over the top" aspect for me (a home cook). However I'm just in the process of making the "Very Green Broccoli Soup" from the book and this recipe is straight forward. However I enjoy the chef tips and various stories that Michael has in his book. I happened to buy this used from Amazon and it is well worth the price. I would not have been interested in paying full price, though. Note: I do own two other of Michael's cookbooks "Entertaining" and "Casual Cooking" as well as his "Napa Stories" book so you could understand that I enjoy his approach, stories, style, recipes, etc. All three were acquired used, and in my opinion, well worth the the few bucks (<$15 each) I paid for each.
