This review is from: Books and My Food: Literary Quotations and Recipes for Every Year (Iowa Szathmary Culinary Arts) (Hardcover)
The so-called literary quotations were culled from the same dozen or so writers and includes many duds nobody reads today (Mrs. Humphry Ward, Charles Reade--perhaps the most often quoted of them all). And even that's beside the point, since the quotations are always so short, often a single sentence no more than fifteen words long. As for the so-called recipes, they're just one or two paragraphs, running to no more than fifty, sixty words per entry (for both quotation and recipe), and they're completely superfluous. You get infinitely better recipes at the back of any cereal box. To put it another way, never have I seen such a gigantic waste of paper in so miniscule a book.
