Lara's Reviews > Kitchen Remix: 75 Recipes for Making the Most of Your Ingredients: A Cookbook

I like the idea behind this one, but found the book itself...ugh.

I think partly the recipes were just not really to my taste, but also some things just felt weirdly...expensive? Like, go buy a half pound of pine nuts and make them into pine nut butter that will only last in the fridge for two weeks? No thanks.

Also, I feel like the author toots her own horn a bit too much. I found her kind of off-putting. Just, a lot of the descriptions come across to me like, “You guys, listen to this—aren’t I a genius? Applause, applause!”

So, in summary, good idea, but for me, too annoying and too impractical. I suggest Start Simple by Lukas Volger for a similar concept.
