Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: After all the best-book-of-the-year lists this one was on, I was expecting something really special, perhaps a cross between A Year in Provance and Julia Child. Instead, we are given a few not unpleasant ruminations about gardens and some recipes. The recipies could only have been written by a woman too young to care about calories. So much butter, so much cream, so little imagination. All of those fresh vegetables and herbs, surely she might have come up with something more original, or at least the occasional vegetable dish without butterfat. If the recipeis were nothing special, neither was the writing and neither was the story line.
Is the review positive or negative?
