I’m guilty. I browse through cookbooks by skipping through pages and eyeing the photos. I only look at the recipe when its photo catches my eye.
Most recipes in this cookbook are not accompanied by a photo and the photos that are included are not accompanied by captions.
I should also admit here that I’m lazy. When I came across a photo that peaked my interest, and then couldn’t match it to a recipe without deep diving into the ingredients, I lost interest.
For what it’s worth, I used an ebook version through overdrive/Libby. I can only assume/hope that the physical book makes it more clear which photo belongs to which recipe. I also have a family full of picky eaters and young kids which means that I don’t have the proper time, willingness, or brain power to dive deeper into the non-picture recipes at this time.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!
I am apparently also guilty of forgetting the good. The intro of this book was pretty awesome, most notably about roasting vegetables. I also appreciated the aim of each recipe being well rounded and balanced.
