review 1: I am not sure if I am the right target for this cookbook since I haven't read the Lucky Harbor series and I am an indifferent cook. However, I often try recipes from Epicurious, All-Recipes, and Food&Wine magazine all the time and a recipe is a recipe. The recipes here are for regular home-made items like casserole, salads, muffins, pies, etc. My biggest problem was that there was no indications of serving size. Some looked like they would serve 5, some looked like they would serve 8-10, but who knows. I also wasn't fond that there was a page between each recipe with a saying on it, which added up to excess padding and a waste of dead tree IMO.I read all the recipes and had to pass on most of them. One casserole required EIGHTEEN EGGS which didn't sound all that appetizing... more to me. I also passed on the salad with instant ramen noodles since I haven't eaten that since high school.I eventually did 2 of the recipes. One was the Crepes and the other was the Strawberry Pie. Both turned out okay but nothing special and I probably would not make them again since I prefer Jacques Pepin's versions better.
review 2: An electronic freebie available on Kindle and probably Nook, too.I did the Honey Bun Muffins this morning. Yum. I did leave out the egg (by accident) and they were still a keeper. Probably won't use the egg in making it.The other recipes look like ones you would find in neighborhood/school/club fundraiser, and I say that with love and affection. Some of my favorite recipes come from those books.Anyway, well worth the cost of admission for the muffin recipe. less
