To update the update on my new American Test Kitchen cookbook. The more I read, the more problems arise.
There are several recipes that follow each other and are the same - only one recipe will have the meat and sauce recipes combined but the next recipe will have the same recipe but will list the sauce below that meat recipe. Sorry, ATK, it’s the same recipe. I don’t fool that easily.
What’s most annoying is none of the sauce recipes list “pan drippings” in the ingredient list. All ingredients should be listed.
When sauces are separtate, I want them listed in a separate sauce section with a note on the recipe to look for xyz sauce on page xyz. I don’t want to, nor have the time, to flip back and forth through the index and/or whole book for sauces. Or even hope they bothered to list it in the index. The book is just too jumbled and makes no sense.
And get someone besides millennials to write the recipes. These kiddies rely too much on their computers. “To” is not the same as “too” or “two”.
It’s not worth the effort to try to return it. With my luck they will either lose it or some such and then I’ll be out the $$ and the book.
Nor do repeating the same recipe for different cuts of meat make it a new recipe. Imagine how much less this rock would weigh if they wouldn’t pull this scam.
