When I first bought this book, I was pretty excited.
That changed drastically once I started trying to follow the recipes.
This is quite possibly the WORST cookbook I’ve ever bought (and I have a collection of more than 50 eclectic cookbooks). I don’t think the writer has any clue about cooking OR writing. It’s written almost as if English is the author’s second (or third?) language.
The intro includes a phrase, “the author has taken any precaution to provide accurate info inside but you are responsible for your own actions. So, make sure you carefully take every step from the book and follow them with caution.”
Unfortunately, if you do that you may end up with a really bad stew … or alcohol poisoning.
The first recipe I tried, Robert Vesco Lamb Stew instructs you to put a “pound of potatoes, cut and boiled,” into a stew pot in the oven - with raw carrots. Think about that for a second or two.
If you do that, you’ll end up with either potato mush by the time the carrots are cooked… or undercooked carrots. The potatoes should NOT need to be cooked beforehand.
Even though all my experience told me not to, with a new recipe I always try to follow it closely the first time. I actually tried to meet it halfway, and I partially cooked the potatoes, but they were still pretty mushy by the time I was done – and the carrots were really underdone.
Okay, so making that recipe the book’s mulligan, I went to look at the “Dembe Zuma Espresso Martini.”
Hmm…
One of the ingredients for ONE SERVING is “a handful of espresso…” like it’s some kind of dry ground coffee product, rather than a finished liquid coffee product. Yeah, a handful of espresso might make for a messy martini. Another ingredient is “1-pint vodka.” Again, for ONE SERVING – that’s 16 oz of vodka.
Right…
A different lamb stew recipe lists “a handful of vegetables.” No clue as to WHAT those vegetables might be…
Even the bio at the back has a horrible typo in it: “So, this is when she decided to start WIRING cookbooks.”
She might want to think about hiring a professional editor…
But that’s something that most books “published independently” don’t bother with. And it often shows in the end product.
Do yourself a favour – don’t buy this book.
If I could have given "0 stars" I would have - it's just that bad. But the lowest Goodreads goes is "1 star."
