Review:I did recipe testing for this book, so I have cooked a LOT of these recipes. They are easy for home cooks to follow, use primarily ingredients people (at least vegans) will already have at home, and are accompanied by so many beautiful pictures! The pictures are what really make me excited to cook a recipe and I'm happy that there are so many.

Very short recipes that are repeated in various forms with a minor ingredient change, all about 1 page or less in length, and no rhyme or reason about organization of the recipes.

Future L.A. is roughly evenly split between the rival territories of two celebrity chefs with differing philosophies - Bob, who focuses on international ingredients... Read more
