The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook - Deb Perelman Read my full review @ http://bit.ly/VPTue3My rating: 2.5 Stars My opinion: First, I must state that the photography in this book was gorgeous! On that note, although the recipes in this book looked good, I thought the better chunk of the recipes were a bit more "upscale" and used for entertaining purposes versus daily dinner recipes. I believe I targeted 10-15 of the recipes for copying. This was out of approximately 100 recipes.The notes and tips section in this book are a must. She includes some really unusual tips that I loved.One of the biggest things that irked me was how the recipes were laid out. Ingredients were laid out on one page and directions on another page. For a cook using this book in a kitchen, that would be mighty inconvenient.
