This book is in desperate need of an editor.
Thankfully, I looked at this at the library before purchasing. Here are some examples as to why I'm passing on this:
My cheddar, apple, sausage biscuits recipe calls for "1/2 package"... 1/2 package of what?
The ingredient list for each recipe is completely out of sequence with the steps. In the above recipe: Start with sausage, ingredient #3, throw in apples, #6, onions, #5, and salt, #8. Continue to biscuits, #1, rosemary, #7, and cheddar cheese, #4. No mention of pepper, an ingredient included with salt, #8. Every recipe reads like that.
Creamy southwest beggar's purse lists "handful cilantro, chopped - 1 egg, beaten - salt and pepper, to taste". These ingredients are not mentioned in the steps. What do you do with them?
Another recipe calls for "6 oz container or 1/2 cup Greek yogurt". A 1/2 cup is 4 ounces, that's a discrepancy of 33%.
Another recipe asks for "half and half" in the ingredients and "half & half" in the step. I know that's a nit, but it goes on and on and on. I can barely figure out the recipes even after going through them 3 or 4 times.
This is just sloppy editing.
