Nothing Fancy

Unfussy Food for Having People Over
Mar 01, 2020bonjbothe3rd rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
This book is the equivalent of clickbait. Make no mistake. It is fancy. There are even recipes with the word Fancy in the title. Examples are, Fancy citrusy Olives and Smashed Eggs and Fancy Fish on Crackers. Then there are fancy ingredients. Swordfish, urfa chile, guanciale, preserved lemons, trout or salmon roe, yusu kosho, homemade aioli, etc, etc. The list drones on. I also couldn't stand the stories in between recipes, or the descriptions and info that accompanied the recipes.They were sometimes so annoying that I could feel my blood pressure skyrocket while I was reading them. Were there recipes that I liked? Yes! However the entire book REEKS of someone who is extremely pretentious and is desperately trying to convince people that they are not.
