The stories and histories of the recipes are hilarious and the real reason you should own or read this book.

[Missy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well, no. From a presentation standpoint, this was clear and well laid-out, but no, not 101 recipes I need to know, not really, not with my life as it is, or even as how I might wish it would/could be.

Great for a Desert Island collection.

Pretentious and all meat
