Negative Positive
Title: Maybe her other books are better....?
Review: I've tried many of the recipes, and all have required minor or major adjustments. The apple pie, home fries, linguine with shrimp, jam thumbprints...all ranged from average to good, but none yielded picture-perfect results that I expect from a perfectionist like Ina. The last recipe I tried was a major disaster--the home fries. I followed the instructions exactly, and the potatoes never browned--cooking them at a low temp (as instructed) just wouldn't work. Perhaps her quantities are off (maybe less potatoes would keep the pan temp hotter)? I'm very, very disappointed when I follow a recipe EXACTLY and the results are so far off. One or two failures, I could take. More than that...I'm done with Ina.
