GangaThe wonderful Hetty Lui McKinnon expresses my benchmark perfectly.
"When I see a cookbook, my first question is: what gap does this book fill? What is its purpose? Is this cookbook 100% unique to the author; could anyone else have written this book?"
At the moment, in the saturated cookbook market, quantity is more prevalent than quality, trends have overcome traditions. I have not been tempted by any cookbooks this year (so far).
