Title: I'm surprised it didn't come with a pin-up poster
Review: Perhaps some people buy a cookbook to see the author's picture on every page. Or if not his picture, then at least his name, please--I might forget the star power of the author. But alas, no such luck. Since he's even got his name embedded in the title, he can be everywhere all at once. I guess some people are impressed with hype, could use even more of it than is dished up every day in our culture. I, on the other hand, could have used some recipes that didn't involve cooking for family reunion size crowds. And I could have used some recipes that involved more than cooking everything indoors and then lugging a pot out to the grill to finish it off. A waste of time--unless you want more pictures of the title-bearer himself.
