Love the concepts but not easy to use
UPDATE: changing this to 1 star (it was 2 before), because will keeps going on his Instagram and saying that only people who haven’t read the book are leaving poor reviews and that they are fake. As you can tell by this review, I did in fact purchased this book and read it. Not sure why he’s trying to invalidate peoples experiences with the book, but I am not impressed even though I have in fact read it.
I have purchased all three of Doctor Will Cole’s books. Although I really like his approach to eating, I find that I never actually use the book or any of the recipes in them because they don’t come with pictures. If you are used to cooking from a lot of different cookbooks, it’s much easier to see visually what the recipe will turn out like and also using the photos to determine whether you want to make some thing to begin with or not. Because he never includes photos of his food, I never actually institute his recipes or the things that he advocates for in the book because there’s really no good way to search throughout the recipes and decide what you want. Again, I love his approach but just wish that he would take the time and effort to put photos of the food next to the recipes. I don’t not know of one cookbook that does not have a bunch of photos in it, and given a large part of his books are recipe driven, it would make sense for him to include them as well.
