 Horrible Graphic Design October 5, 2008
12 out of 23 found this review helpful
I love the Splendid Table show, and listen each week. I was looking forward to the recipes in this book. However the graphic design is so overwhelming and distracting that I couldn't even FIND the recipe on most pages. There are huge quotes and unrelated tips on every page, in colors and font sizes which completely overwhelm the actual content of what is, after all, a cookbook. Every time I opened the book I felt assaulted and confused, and closed it without learning anything about how to cook dinner, or anything else. I borrowed the book from the library to see if it was worth buying, and have decided that no, it isn't.

I have been reading cook books and cooking for over 63 years - this book is filled with fresh new cooking tips and recipes. I am still learning. Usually, after purchasing a cookbook, I am disappointed and, if I am lucky find maybe one good recipe.

This is a cookbook that reads more like a novel then a list of ingredients. Its a wonderful and fun concept. The recipes are great. I'll never buy salad dressings again after seeing how easy they are to make.

Wonderful, Tasty Recipes! September 3, 2008

I have been looking for a cook book that would offer great recipe ideas and have ingredients that I could find in a regular grocery store. I found it all in this wonderful book! Apart from the fantastic selection of recipes, you will find plenty of practical information and quirky bits of trivia that just makes this book fun to use!
I have had the book for a couple of weeks now and already I have gone through most recipes - they have all been a hit, even with my picky kids. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys food but cannot spend all day looking for ingredients and cooking. You'll find the recipes easy to follow and the results spectacular!
