Too complicated, odd ingredients, not healthy
25 April 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Too start with the positives: magazine (book) is beautifully photographed, pages are thick quality, prep and layout instructions seem good. The negatives: this is more a magazine (less than 100 hundred pages and stapled together, no spine) rather than a book so don't plan to give it as a gift. One of the suggestions for getting more vegetables in your day was to eat cut up crudities. Well if a person could do that they wouldn't need to buy a cookbook that tells them how to add more fruits and vegetables in their day. Many of the vegetable recipes called for rather expensive or hard to find ingredients. One of the recipes is fennel and mussel provencal; calling for fresh mussels, don't know that my kids would eat mussel much less fennel. Another recipe is cut up taro, carrot and parsnip and roasting all together with sugar and orange juice. I guess if you add enough sugar to something anybody would eat it.
Several recipes call for vine leaves, greek yogurt, sultanas, mooli and tagliatelle, where am I suppose to get that stuff? There is a recipe for french beans with bacon and cream; another peas and cream; mushrooms and creme fraiche; baked marrow with cream. Most of the recipes are not diet friendly at all. Many have creme fraiche, half and half, double cream, heavy cream, sugar, cheese, etc. You couldn't make many of these recipes if you had any dietary limitations. One of the recipes calls for a whole cup of sugar, like I said earlier if you add enough sugar to it I guess someone would eat it but then aren't you defeating the purpose of eating healthy fruits and vegetables?
Some of the recipes call for so little amount of vegetables that I'm not even sure you could count them as a true serving. Another recipe is frying up chicken livers in bacon and serving over a mixed green salad.
There are better books on the market that might have more than 5 recipes that you could call heart healthy and would actually make.
But I did give it 3 stars because it is a very pretty magazine, there's a picture on every page and instructions are clear and concise. But no recipes that I could actually use.
