Although I have enjoyed the beautiful photographs in her new cookbook I was disappointed in the cooking portion. It is not a book the serious cook would need for their bookshelf. Many of the recipes are variations of those found in her friends homes and restaurants. I was looking for a more original approach to her entertaining and found it lacking. Unfortunately it appears to have been written for her fame rather the cooking. With only 84-85 recipes in the entire book, I would have hoped to find something besides 'Mac and Cheese'.
