5 Dollar Menus for Two: The Easy-To-Use Companion to the Biochemical Machine

Rating:
Summary: Good, but with problems
Review: It's a decent book, but I have two beefs with it. Beef #1 is that there are quite a few recipes taken straight from the Biochemical Machine. Since this is a companion recipe book, I expected it to make references to the original without exact copies. My second beef is that some of the recipes are incomplete. I have found several that fail to mention all the ingredients. For example, one recipe calls for potatoes, 2-4 cups of oil, sour cream, and chives. Nowhere in the description are the chives or the oil mentioned. There are about 1/2 a dozen occurrences of this that I've found so far. Some of these you can deduce what needs to be done, but others (like the one mentioned above) leave you utterly clueless. That said, there are several really excellent looking recipes in this book and I think it is a valuable addition to anyone following the A&B method. I just would have liked to have seen more originality and more attention to detail.
