So far I have not been impressed by this book as either the author or the book's editor have left out key ingredients and quantities in the ingredients list preceeding each recipie!On page 73 "Saucy Pinto Beans with Chorizo Sausage" calls for adding water and barley in the instructions, but these ingredients and quantities are not provided at all in the ingredients listing. So the cook is left guessing how much of these to add. Not very helpful for a cookbook or when you have based your shopping list on the ingredients list.This book needs a revision badly or a new publisher.
