Title: Should be called Mediocre Bad Food
Review: I bought this book after using The New Basics as my food bible for years. What a disappointment! I made a baked beans recipe for my son's birthday party that was inedible, and my husband had to run out for canned beans at the last minute. We also made a chestnut-mashed potato recipe that tells you to boil the chestnuts (I was assuming so that then you would peel them), but it didn't say to peel them, how to peel them, if you should peel them. So we put them in the blender, and just followed the recipe, trussting it. What a mess! This book needs better instructions, and most of the recipes I have prepared aren't very good at all.
