Book Reviews of Raw Family Signature Dishes: A Step-by-Step Guide to Essential Live-Food Recipes
Book Review: A disappointing buy
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this book very disappointing. While the author's goal was to present her recipes to her readers as clearly as possible, she stretched it too far. The book is full of pictures through out, it should have been called a pictorial book. I wouldn't mind seeing pictures esp. if they are necessary but this book shows pictures of almost every move in the kitchen! For example: page 5 shows pouring of olive, agave, lemon juice in 3 separate pictures. Don't readers know how to pour them all in 1 container? On the same page, chopping ginger and adding it to the blender-- why show each step in separate pictures when it could have been done in 1. I mean the whole page could have just showed 1 or 2 photos and still got the directions clear, instead of 6. And that's just page 5. the same pattern is repeated throughout the 160-page book. Just one more example: page 19: slicing the carrots and putting them in the blender was shown in 3 photos, then it's followed by 4 other pictures showing the same ingredient being blended and poured. The presentation is just ridiculously pre-schooler. Waste of space.
Having said that i don't necessarily put the whole blame on the author but equally on her reviewers and editors and whoever saw the final copy.
I will still try to buy another Boutenko book as i've heard more positive reviews about her and her raw family.It's just too bad that i started with this one.
