I ordered this book for my daughter for Christmas. While there were a few pages of good information, it's mostly blank pages to put in your own recipies. Not at all what I was expecting and a very embarrassing gift. It was especially embarrassing since I'd ordered two other Alton Brown books for my other daughter and my husband. While the other two people were enjoying and sharing all the great information, my oldest shared blank pages. Embarrassing for both of us.
