Don’t buy if you are expecting a regular cookbook
Woefully slender, outrageous price. Since I read other reviews I knew that when I bought it, but I took a (big) chance in order to get the information. Some of the recipes will work for me, but others won’t because I have egg and dairy intolerances. That matters quite a bit when you’re looking at such a small pamphlet. But I am still hoping the guidelines for this modified fast will work for me. That’s why I picked a middle of the road rating. We’ll see. (Edited to add: Yes, the e-book is cheaper at $20, but a $20 ebook is also an outrageous price for such a small booklet. The potentially useful information I wanted is literally on two pages - probably the length of a blog post. Nobody can get inside the authors’ heads, so who knows what their thinking was, but as a consumer I’ll be honest, this feels like a money grab. While I understand that using CreateSpace is expensive for print copies, especially if you have color photos, I don’t think there’s any excuse for the e-book price. I’m downgrading my three star review to two stars. I also want to add, I’ve got two or three of her other cookbooks and enjoy them tremendously. The dairy free cookbook is the most useful to me, and therefore the most enjoyable.)
