I think to call this a cookbook is deceiving. I love cookbooks. I like to peruse all kinds. This is a bunch of technical writing which is useful if you are looking to read ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING about cholesterol. I was just interested in some healthy recipes. There are recipes here but not too many, they are scattered about in the margins, and A LOT of the ingredients required a health foods store. I could only find a couple recipes where they had things you could usually obtain in a normal grocery store.
