Title: very disappointing!
Review: I enjoy Chef Kathleen's Food Network show. And I thought that as someone who had lost a lot of weight, I would be able to get a lot of good ideas from her book. The good about the book is that there are not too many ingredients per each dish, so most recipes are easy to make. The bad is that serving sizes are not very clear in many recipes (the brisket recipe says it makes 10 servings with leftovers - how many leftovers? How do we know how much is base recipe and how much for leftovers if we don't know what a serving is?). Also, she talks about the importance of calories on pages 8 - 10, and again on page 80, saying she likes to know exactly how many calories she's having for breakfast, but there are no calorie/nutrition counts for the recipes! Perhaps she wants the emphasis to be on balanced diet, with good tasting food, but I frankly only wanted to read this book to get recipes with calorie counts. Without those, this book was a real disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
