Recipes that made for a fantastic evening of cooking and eating! I prepared three recipes: Seared duck breast with blood orange and star anise, Haricots verts and snow peas with hazelnut and orange, and Seafood, fennel, and lime salad. Each recipe guided me in simple instructions to a delightful final product. With the addition of some roasted orange root vegetables (as the duck recipe suggested: “This dish would go well with a rough mash of orange roots, such as sweet potato, pumpkin, or carrot”), we had a truly LOVELY FEAST. SO WHY AM I GIVING IT ONE STAR? Whoever decided to make this one of those "Made for iBooks" interactive adventures doesn't understand what I want out of a cookbook AT ALL. The hyperlink-driven digital format is an obnoxious impediment to cooking. For example: 1. I can't highlight the text or add my own comments! The next time I try preparing that duck, I'd like it to be more rare, but I can't make a note in the text so I'll likely forget and then have over-cooked duck again. Or note that we found it too anise-heavy and I should decrease the star anise in the sauce. Nope! Can't highlight. Can't comment. I need to be able to markup my cookbooks! 2. The digital format is a nuisance for reading the recipe. I have a huge iPad, but I'm only given the steps in drips and dribbles rather than being able to view the entire thing at once. Ditto for an ingredient list that happens to be too long for the perforated/allotted ingredient box. I DON'T WANT to have to scroll the screen-boxes when my hands are covered in cooking oils and mess. 3. You can't print. I understand that not allowing printing is helpful for keeping the recipes from being distributed, or something, but printing out the recipe in its entirety would solve a lot of my instruction woes and keep my iPad away from hot oil. 4. The duck was brilliant with the root veggies, but that tip was hidden behind a stupid glyph rather than being presented on screen. That's just annoying. I'M GLAD I ONLY PAID $3 FOR THIS COOKBOOK. I'LL NEVER USE THE DIGITAL VERSION AGAIN.
