Book Reviews of Squeaky Gourmet: Simple. Clean. Food.
Book Review: Not the "clean" I was looking for
Summary: 1 Stars
As a busy graduate student and mom to 5 children (all living at home), I'm not one to give reviews normally. With this book though I really felt the need to. I ordered this book because it was grouped with other books on "clean" eating, which is something I strive toward achieving for my family. My definition of clean eating involves a movement away from processed foods. The other books I viewed when I ordered this one were the kind of "clean" I was aiming for, this one was definitely not. In spite of that I kept the book on the premise that I'd modify it to suit my needs. I used it for the first time this past week and was very disappointed. I understand that the authors are not chefs, and never required that to begin with, but there's a drastic difference between a skilled cook who writes a cook book and what this book delivers. I was shocked at how many mistakes and simple errors there were in this book. It really came across that the book was not written by someone that knew what they were doing in the kitchen. I ended up abandoning the recipe I chose to make midway through and completely revising it to make it work out better. I was left wondering if this book ever crossed the desk of a competent editor. Take home message: if your definition of clean eating is to limit your processed food intake, or you're an inexperienced cook, and/or you don't feel like having to modify and edit the recipes on the fly, then this is definitely NOT the book for you. If on the other hand you're open to translating the recipes in this book into usable recipes, then maybe it's worth buying it as food for thought/inspiration. If I had to do it over with I wouldn't have ordered this book. It's definitely not what I was looking for, and definitely not written well.
