review 1: No, I haven't bought into the kindle-as-1000-cookbooks rhetoric. I firmly believe that electronics deserve to be in a place where they have no chance of coming into contact with pudding. But this is a READING cookbook, much like "Roast Chicken and Other Stories" or anything by Nigella Lawson, where the long stories that precede each recipe are the more important part of the intro-recipe duality. Almost every recipe has a story and an evolution, lovingly described, and the most straightforward chapter (Sweets) is also the weakest due to the relative lack of both. I may, in the future, try out many of the recipes (the french toast is making an appearance this weekend!) but even if I didn't, this book was worth the purchase as someone who loves to read about ... morefood.
review 2: In the end, no matter how well put together, no matter how thoughtful; it is the recipes in a cookbook that count. These are not bad recipes. But she likes fried eggs and I don't. She likes sweet potatoes and I don't. She likes coconut and I am allergic to it. When there are only 150 recipes and so many of them are not what I would cook at all, it leaves me with a great deal of respect for her writing, but no interest in any of her recipes. less
