It's a winner - I bought a copy when my library copy was due

This went right on my library holds list

I've made a generous handful of recipes from this -- none of them have been bad, and many of them are going into my regular rotation. Even when I was skeptical of the amounts, I trusted the editors and was rewarded for it. The recipes are clear, the intro sections are informative, and the results speak for themselves.

My two quibbles: First, weights are not generally included, and sometimes the amounts are annoying (one recipe calls for 20 cherry tomatoes). Second, the book relies heavily on the food processor, which I have but it's such a pain to clean. Some of the recipes would work just fine with a mince instead.

Really did not get into this.

A chance for the author to channel Elliot or a Brontë sister for a society drama for an ice planet. I was endeared by the use of the narrator, and the whole setup of the book. The worldbuilding was fun and interesting, and I liked just being there as I read it. I must admit though, it wasn't all that gripping, I only really felt invested in Jonr's storyline, and if you want a strong narrative drive, you may be disappointed. But I'd give it a shot.

huh.

This has been unrelentingly great.

I checked this out from the library while cookbook hunting hungry and bookmarked about half the recipes to try

I might pick this back up again some day but I found it hard to get into. That said, I think the thesis is super interesting and I learned something just from the introduction and first chapter.

This is GREAT so far
