Title: WTP?!?
Review: What's The Point? It's a cookbook where half the recipes are from well-reknowned chefs exposing their true form, and the other half are Bittman's adulterated versions that are nothing like the original. In some he doesn't have the same method or technique; in others he doesn't even use the same base ingredient. It's like comparing apples to motor oil. Complex to Simple? Of course it's simple if you remove 90 percent of what was in the original! You cannot compare a grilled version of a protein dish to a sauteed version of another no matter how much you try to spin it.And the photos are the worst I've ever seen for a major release of a cookbook. They are still photos taken from the video shoot while they were in the kitchens. Some of the photos have big block squares; the tell-tale sign of how the digital rendering couldn't be made. Take any .jpg file and blow it up 1,000 percent and you'll see exactly the results printed in this book.Very disappointed.
