Review title: Below Expectation
Product review: This was my first Barefoot Contessa book (it was a Christmas gift) & I have to confess I'm pretty let down.First off, the book is rather anemic. For the price, promise, and reputation I expected at least a few more recipes, and something more original. Easy doesn't have to mean boring or common. Also, for a cook book I don't expect an already slim menu to be falsely fleshed out with drink recipes (and a Kir is the best they could do??) and personal anecdotes that really come across as a little too self-centered.I'm not inclined to buy any more of her books, certainly not at full price, without taking a thorough look at it in the store.I agree with the earlier reviewer who suggested that this book is best for beginners. Anyone with even moderate culinary experience in European cuisine will probably be bored.Pretty pictures do not a great cook book make!
