Negative Positive
Title: I'm no expert, but my husband digs it...
Review: I got this for my hubby (He Who Cooks), since he'd specifically requested a Blue Ginger cookbook after we'd spent an hour drooling over a recent "Simply Ming" episode on TV (and Ming, the rat bugger, doesn't have anything west of the Alleghanies, apparently). I'd seen the more negative reviews here, especially regarding the editing, but after looking at it in a brick-n-mortar store (and then purchased here, since it was cheaper...yay, discounts!), it occurred to me that Ming's editor may be British-trained, which could account for some differences in style.Since I'm not a cook/chef/etc., I can't really judge it comparatively to others in its field (hence, only 4 stars), but my husband definitely liked the Fusion style greatly, even the recipes in the back calling for really expensive ingredients. I look forward to delicious mysteries issuing forth from our kitchen!
