Cons

The pages are too flimsy for a binder type of cookbook. It is too small, and not hardcover. Ordered the spiral-bound version of this book as a christmas gift, received a cheap comb-bound versions.

The cookbook has been updated over the years as grocery stores have increased available food products and the american diet has changed.


Comparing it to previous editions of the same cookbook, i think they've lessened the salt a bit too much.
