Title: IRON CHEF NEEDS IRON EDITOR
Review: It was with great anticipation that I opened the box containing IRON CHEF, the Official Book. Unfortunately, in the hour it took to get through the book, I became more and more disappointed.The writing style left much to be desired, but I didn't expect a lterary marvel; the recipes left much to be desired, but I didn't expect a cook book.What I did expect was some semblance of accuracy - even in the made up world of "Chairman" Kaga's Gourmet Academy. For example, if memory serves me correctly, I viewed the four programs with the Ota faction versus Morimoto. In the last Ota faction versus Morimoto battle, the faction FINALLY wins. Unfortunately, in the book we are told just the opposite. In another example, there was a section devoted to Yukio Hattori. The section was highly informative, but Hattori-san's photos were to be found in the section devoted to Asako Kishi.The book is somewhat like "Chairman" Kaga - bright colors but little substance.
Is the review positive or negative?
