Missing ingredients
I wanted to love this cookbook, I really did. The recipes look good, and the pictures are beautiful. It’s a hard cover, so you’d think the production qualities would be good. But no. There are missing ingredients that make it really tough to make several of the recipes. For example, there’s a recipe for mushroom onion gravy, but the ingredient list has no mushrooms. Zero. None. The instructions though indicate I should be frying them up. How many and what kind, we’ll, that would be essential to know.
That’s not the only one either. Earlier in the book, the Author calls out shallots in a recipe as what makes it special. But, you guessed it, no shallots.
Many of the recipes do appear to be complete, and different from many other vegan cookbooks I already own, which is positive, but not being able to make several recipes in the book make it frustrating at best.
