Negative Positive
Title: totally unrealistic
Review: I am an experienced cook with a family to feed. I have a large collection of cookbooks and thought this one sounded so promising. It soooo isn't!- First of all - the recipes are not organized in any way. You have to read through each recipe to find something.- Second - There are no pictures of the food.- Third - and most important to me - I couldn't find one recipe that I could cook without driving to a large supermarket 40 miles away for ingredients like: Mexican beer, chipotle powder, chorizo, portobello mushrooms, fresh herbs, fresh mint leaves, smoked gouda, sheep's milk cheese - well, you get the idea. There was not one single recipice in the entire book for which I could get the ingredients in my small-town grocery store!- Fourth - If you value your waist-line and your cholesterol level - this is not your book. Nearly every recipe calls for butter, cheese, cream or red meat - and usually lots of it!- There's just nothing right about this book.
