Calling them \u201cgenius\u201d recipes might be overselling the book a little bit, but I enjoyed reading through this short cookbook and stimulating my appetite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A couple of great points – the book is organized by category, and it has both a \u201cmeaty mains\u201d and \u201cmeatless mains\u201d category, which makes it easier to find dishes I\u2019m looking for without meat. The photographs in this book were great, too – especially the ones showing the process of cutting something in an unusual way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the dishes are aimed squarely at the American cook, so there isn\u2019t much in the way of East\/Southeast Asian, middle Eastern, Indian, or South American dishes. I\u2019d have liked to see more world variety, but for popular foods\/ingredients in the USA, this is a good resource. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve bookmarked a few recipes and maybe I\u2019ll try them out sometime in the future. I think this book was best as a library check-out – I don\u2019t think I need to buy it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I\u2019m reading At the Existentialist Cafe by Sarah Bakewell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
