Negative Positive
Title: Not up to standards of her previous books.
Review: The photos are attractive and the text is well-written, just as in her other books, but I agree with those who say the recipes are just not worth much. I agree with the reviewer from Phoenix who says this book seems to have been rushed out in order to capitalize on the success of the first two books. There is just nothing in here that I have any desire to make (or that I don't already have a million good recipes for).Also, a stylistic thing that drives me nuts: nearly every single recipe in all her cookbooks is attributed to "My dear friend [so-and-so]" -- OK, we get it, Ina, everyone loves you -- and her constant chirping of "How easy is that?" starts to grate after a while.
Is the review positive or negative?
