While the book information and recipes are excellent, the quality of it to retail at $26.99 is not worth it. Pages are see through and hard to read because of text or images on the other side. The pages that have color look cheaply printed because of the paper quality. Ink lines through a lot of the images. Most cookbooks feel durable like they can get messy with in the kitchen. I’d be afraid to get anything on the pages because they’d likely disintegrate when wiping off.
