The actual recipes are wonderful, innovative and healthy. The font in this book hurts my eyes, dulled white print on black, Large then small front, Fancy fonts, it's crazy. I really wanted this book, I waited and bought ti as soon as it was published and now I can't stand to read it. I have no issues reading, my eyes are good 20/20 ! Staining to try to see a blurred small font is just not worth it. Sure I could just use the recipes but half the book is stories, stories I was interested in, the how and why's. I had this on my coffee table and everyone that came over had an opinion from it's chaos to "Ugg how do you read this ?" Maybe the ebook would be clearer ? I might check it out.

Have made three things from this cookbook, all very good, although I need to strain the yogurt next time, to thicken it.
