Book Reviews of the JOY OF COOKING
Customer Review: Not for Everyday
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is great if you're a gourmet. If you're just a plain old mom (or plain old anybody), it's not so good. Most of the recipes require too many ingredients, odd/gourmet ingredients, and far too much preparation time for those of us with busy lives who don't love to spend all our spare time cooking. I much prefer a more down-to-earth cookbook which uses fewer ingredients per recipe, more "standard" ingredients - the things we almost all keep our refrigerators and pantries stocked with (think Cheddar cheese instead of Gruyere) - and which doesn't expect me to spend all evening in the kitchen. Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything is much better in this respect.
