This book was just okay. After a while, the stories started to sound the same. And it got increasingly boring to read them. Especially when there were really no recipes. I was kind of disappointed about that. And the recipes that were in the book were just plain deceiving. For example, one had the ingredients but the steps were supposed to be cute. "Take the cream out of the refrigerator. Smell it. Realize it's old. Toss it out. Decide to make steamed spinach instead of creamed spinach." Or something like that. I even tried to read a chapter a day so as not to get sick of the book but it didn't help much.

The book is unimaginative, repetetive, and not infrequently depressing. I would pick it up and read a little and eventually had to force myself to finish it.
