A note on how I rate cookbooks: I rate them on ease of use, aesthetic appeal and availability of ingredients. I rate before I cook.
This is a good one: A meal prep chart guide, photos with every recipe, and interesting recipes. (Pork ramen and bubble tea--I'm looking at you!)
But I think some of the ingredients (Japanese fish cake) will be hard to find in my small southern town. More than this, some of the photos are--odd. There are two types of carbs (rice and egg noodles) pictured with some recipes. I am a super-fan of carbs, and even I think this is too much.
Also, the recipes make use of a specific *name brand* of raw potato: Klondike. This preference stuck with me because I am a Pittsburgh native who would go to great lengths for a Klondike bar!! Klondike potatoes feature in the recipes like a product placement in a film. It was a little bizarre.
But I think this book will help me get more use from my Instant Pot, so it's a win on the whole!
Do you like fancy ass recipes you are probably never going to use? Well, this is the book if you are from a small town, hate seafood, and don't have 'exotic' recipe ingredients on hand! I, of course, am being sarcastic.
This book pretty much has a picture for every recipe, which is nice. And they are pretty! Which is good. There is a handy meal prep guide, and a high demand for "klondike" potatoes... I'm not even sure my local grocery store gets those.
Russett, yellow, red, occasionally white potatoes, yes. Klondike...I may have seen them once...? I'm not sure. Would have to find out which one of those generic potatoes is similar, otherwise I can just huck a good chunk of these recipes out the window. Where would one find a replacement for Japanese fish cakes anyhow? Something for me to ponder...
Anyhow, I didn't love any of these recipes enough to pull them out and try them. And I just laughed when I got to the picture of shells sticking out of some sort of broth and just kept flipping. Seafood is bloody expensive when you are landlocked. Can you replace oysters with 'prairie oysters.' lol...and eew. If you know, you know.
Conclusion? You might like this book more then I did. But I recently started flipping through a Taste of Home recipe book that was much more to my taste and style. So this book is probably working on a disadvantage.
