Let's look at some of the reviews at Amazon:
»A book you'll actually reference …what I mean is, it's not JUST a pretty cookbook with nice pictures…
»Good-looking, well-designed book, but a bit of a disappointment. A handful of recipes lived up to the hype -- such as the well-known, game-changing Jim/Lahey/Mark Bittman recipe for no-knead bread -- but most were simply decent recipes that did not redefine any concepts or establish new paradigms. "Genius" is clearly an overblown term.
»Beautiful photographs. I bought this as a gift for my sister, a gourmet cook, and she loves it! It was hard to the put the book down in order to gift wrap it. I hope she doesn't notice the pages I drooled on (lol). 😉
»Such a great variety and awesome tips to make each recipe special and user friendly. Can't wait to get cooking!
