Title: Disappointing
Review: The irony of the title is that the ratio of editorial/descriptive text pages to recipe pages is pretty. There are a number of chapters, each with a general 2-3 page introduction and then 5-10 pages of recipies that can be modified to suit your taste.I think a much better investment is Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. It has just as much on the tips/techniques side (and I think better quality) and far more on the recipies (if you're interested in them).
Is the review positive or negative?
