4 | Some Good Ideas | This is the second book of this genre I have. Yummy recipes that are pretty easy to do if you get the right pans and such. Not as much savory as I was hoping. Some things need a bit of finesse in the finishing but so far everything has be edible. I like not having to eat the same desserts 5 days in a row. This allows f... | [] | 1623157927 | 1623157927 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,626,869,381,392 | 4 | true |

4 | A Lttle Disappointing | I watch a lot of videos for this artist and was hoping for some more of his signature work in this book. It is hard for me to get internet in my art studio and therefore hard to watch videos and I was hoping this book could fill in some. It is well rendered and there is good information, it just isn't what I needed to... | [] | 1790615038 | 1790615038 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,623,183,337,351 | 1 | true |

4 | Lots Of Good Information | First let me say that I am a failure at composting. Have tried every gadget ,DIY and trick known to mankind. This book covers them all. I am currently failing at vermicomposting using a "no fail" system. So let me tell it like it is. This is a wonderful book with all the helpful information to get you started.

4 | Well Written But Complicated | I think this book is geared toward a younger set of people that have more comprehensive knowledge of the chemistry behind CBD and THC. It is very well written with lots of pictures and useful information. However making a drink from start to finish involves more than this old gal has left in her. I live in the CBD capi... | [] | 1592339743 | 1592339743 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,621,362,634,747 | 0 | false |

5 | Everything You Need | I've been trying to culture mushrooms for 18 months or more with middling success. This book has good information that isn't overcomplicated. Good troubleshooting points.

5 | First Rate Book | I have done block printing off and on for 40 years. This book taught me things I didn't know. It is comprehensive yet easy to use. Laid out well.

5 | Fantastique! | By far one of the best books I have read in the last 20 years. Riveting story. Well crafted and unpredictable. Renews my hope in authors and that there might still be some good stories to be told. I got a hard copy of the book to review and was frankly appalled at the poor quality of the paper. It was so thin you could... | [] | 0316493678 | 0316493678 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,620,657,681,890 | 0 | false |

4 | Useful Information For Beginners | While I have been gardening for 45 years or more I liked the approach that this book takes. The basics of gardening in an understandable and easy to grasp format. One thing I read reminded me of something I had forgotten and solved a problem I have at the present in my own yard. Super for a beginner. | [] | 0760368740 | 0760368740 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,620,081,941,635 | 0 | false |

4 | Not For Me | I like to include more veggie meals in my rotation. This is really geared to hard core vegetarians and vegans. I marked exactly one recipe I thought I might try. I'm not a fan of tofu, nutritional yeast and TVP. This is great if you are trying for recipes with meat substitutes. | [] | 0760370982 | 0760370982 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,619,699,124,813 | 0 | false |
4 | Nice But Nothing New | I enjoyed looking through this book, but really didn't learn anything new as far as technique is concerned. Enjoyed the crystal painting tutorial and the earth mandala.

2 | Boring | First let me say I review a lot of cookbooks. Rarely do I ever have any that don't grab me in some way. I got all the way to page 85 in this one and hadn't marked a single recipe. Not one. At that point I bagged out and considered it a failure. A lot of vegetarian recipes if that's your thing. I can do that on my own ... | [] | 1648760325 | 1648760325 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,617,310,101,109 | 3 | false |
3 | A Little Sophisticated For The Age Group | I've been drawing for 55 years at least. I don't know too many 6 to 9 year olds who could manage the items in this book.

5 | 5 Stars All The Way | I've been baking for over 50 years. This book comes at a perfect time. Time to scale down amounts since I'm single again. I love that every recipe has the weights. In baking weighing is the best way to do it. There are so many different climates in this country and flour especially can vary a lot. Best results with wei... | [] | 1648766854 | 1648766854 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,616,947,891,992 | 0 | false |
5 | Very Good Information | I've had houseplants for over 50 years. This book is informative and current. I like that it tell you right at the top of each plant whether it is pet friendly or not.

3 | Not Too Exciting | I was kind of expecting something different. Of the three cookbooks that I have been reviewing this is the least amazing of the lot. Not very many pictures. Kind of a funny font for the titles. Lots of parsnips. I marked a handful of things to try but overall it was kind of a let down. | [] | 1647397014 | 1647397014 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,614,957,228,026 | 1 | false |
4 | Some Good Ideas | I like the premise of this cookbook. There seem to be some interesting recipes to try out in your air fryer. Albeit there are also some things that are a bit out there. I only have a fairly small air fryer so some of these ideas just aren't possible and would translate much better to a conventional cooking method. Lots... | [] | 1615649794 | 1615649794 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,614,888,829,051 | 1 | false |
4 | Straightforward | This is an easy and straightforward cookbook. Good information on the various cuts of meat and how to cook them best. I like the recipes because they are fairly basic with minimal ingredients for those days when you want something good but don't want to make a huge production of it. Good pictures of finished meals. | [] | 1647398118 | 1647398118 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,608,572,854,901 | 0 | false |

4 | Great Cookbook | I am liking this book for the simplicity of the process. I have another book that has been my go too with no fail results so I am hoping that by simplifying a little I can still get the same results. Good recipes for rubs and sauces.

5 | The Last Pasta Book You Need | I am gobsmacked at this book. Been making pasta handmade for a long time, but this is comprehensive and has everything all in one book.

4 | Some Good Ideas | I live in an area without any kind of Chinese restaurants or food. So I mostly do things in house. I got this to accompany a new wok that just arrived.

5 | 10 Stars | I found this cookbook to be the quintessential cookbook. Well printed. Pictures of every recipe. The fact that it is done by America's Test Kitchen means that every recipe will be foolproof and tasty. Lots of basic sauces that will keep in the fridge. Seasoning mixes to pull out and use whenever you want. A wonderful ... | [] | 1948703289 | 1948703289 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,606,076,641,220 | 2 | false |

4 | Useful Book | I have done some of this kind of work in the past and found this book to be a good guide to intricacies of curing meat. I need to avoid nitrates, so the recipes in here are not ones I can use regularly, but I'm sure they are fine for most folks. Found the paper used in the pages to be very thin and fragile. | [] | 1119690781 | 1119690781 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,605,211,540,776 | 0 | false |
4 | Fantastic For The College Age Cook | Really geared toward young people who have left home for the first time, but like to cook real food.

4 | Fascinating Premise | I have been baking bread for 50 years. I thought this would be an interesting way to expand my repertoire during winter baking season.

4 | Great Dressing Recipes | We eat a lot of salads all year long. The recipes in this cookbook are amazing. Some of them are a bit too high end for most people and I know that the ingredients are going to be hard to come by here in podunk where I live. But the dressings are worth the book.

3 | Not Exactly Riveting | I can't believe I'm about to leave a less than stellar review for this author. But alas I am. I've made it about halfway through the book and it has been a slog.

2 | Can't Believe I Paid For This | If you had asked me part way through the book I would have given 5 stars for an interesting read.

3 | Not As Good As The First One | Title says it all. This installment didn't grab me as much as book number one in the series. | [] | B077XY527S | B077XY527S | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,533,855,877,216 | 0 | true |
4 | Good Read | This was a good book for the most part. I was really looking forward to some New Orleans flavor. I had a bit of trouble keeping track of the characters for some reason and I'm not quite sure how all of it fits together even after I finished the book. Probably not the author's fault, just too many interruptions in my re... | [] | B06Y2WXY9M | B06Y2WXY9M | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,518,557,701,599 | 0 | true |

4 | Nice Pre Cut Tiles | Nice pack of tiles for Zentangles. The paper is moderate quality and works well depending on your media. Not great for alcohol markers. | [] | 1441316310 | 1441316310 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,504,365,047,101 | 0 | true |

4 | Educational for All Ages | A very good book for children learning about nature. This one really covers all the environments available from the forest to the beach and in between. It also covers urban areas and backyards so that children in those areas can learn about the critters they see. Well illustrated. There is just enough information to be... | [] | 1632170833 | 1632170833 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,491,949,887,000 | 0 | false |
3 | Just Ehhhhh | We live in about 20 acres of foragable plant life, so I thought this book might be fun to have on the shelf. We are always cutting wildflowers and weeds to make arrangements. I am not a fan of the designs in this book. The author calls them asymmetrical, or inverted triangle designs. A little of that goes a long way. I... | [] | 1624143644 | 1624143644 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,491,076,770,000 | 2 | false |
4 | Super Gardening Eye Candy | This is a really great book. I have a previous version of this that was very useful in my landscaping business. Good ideas for a lot of really upscale container arrangements. A lot of good information about containers and soil. Good watering tips as well. Come on Spring!! A lot of these arrangements require plants that... | [] | 0848745817 | 0848745817 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,487,191,443,000 | 0 | false |

4 | Lovely Pictures and Useful Information | This book is a combination of plant eye candy and useful information. Well presented, with beautiful pictures. I found the front half of this fairly well skewed to landscapes in California. Not too much for those of us in other places of the country. Then there is a section for planters and display ideas. These are lov... | [] | 0848749472 | 0848749472 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,484,863,435,000 | 2 | false |
4 | Yummy! | This appears to be an excellent cookbook for this type of cuisine. We love cajun/creole food and there are some kind of different takes on the usual dishes that are in some of my other books. Great pictures and informative inserts on ingredients and the culture that spawned this food. Good addition to my collection of ... | [] | 1558328637 | 1558328637 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,476,917,679,000 | 0 | false |
3 | Not Helpful For Me | Kind of disappointed in this book. Great techniques, but I was looking for something that used the same kinds of tips that I am using. It wasn't very helpful to me at all with my Walnut Hollow tool. Back to trial and error. | [] | 1574215051 | 1574215051 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,476,637,296,000 | 1 | true |
3 | Yummy Recipes, Just Not Enough | I'm giving this 3 stars and I arrived at that in this manner. I was totally stoked to get a new canning book that might have some really upscale recipes that the old Ball book just doesn't have. This has them. Just not enough of them. Ergo the 3 stars. 5 Stars for the anticipation of fine foodie goodness less 2 stars f... | [] | 1624142613 | 1624142613 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,472,684,244,000 | 2 | false |
4 | Sausage For Geeks | I've been making homemade sausage for many years and I'm always looking for the newest information and latest recipes. This book is pretty good. The first part of it is very heavy on the science of nitrate/nitrite. In fact because it was written by a dietician there is a lot of nutritional science and dietary warnings ... | [] | 0778805352 | 0778805352 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,458,830,222,000 | 1 | false |
3 | Nice But Hard To Follow | I'm hesitant to review this poorly since so many others seemed to like it. Let me preface this by saying that I've been doing origami for a long time. 20 years or more. I do not think that many children could figure these out. I tried to make the Batman symbol and was instantly frustrated by the directions and the illu... | [] | 1623702178 | 1623702178 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,448,053,265,000 | 0 | false |

1 | YUCK | I found this thoroughly unreadable. I don't know if something was lost in the translation, but it was very weird and I gave up after a few chapters. | [] | B00UXX5B62 | B00UXX5B62 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,445,962,651,000 | 0 | true |
3 | Just OK | I didn't think this was on par with the other Event Books. It took me a long time to read as it wasn't truly riveting and I could pretty well guess what was going to happen and the outcome. Quite a departure from the other Golemon books. | [] | 1250057639 | 1250057639 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,443,274,371,000 | 0 | true |
5 | Best Pectin In The Market | I am so glad I got this book. Since I have discovered Pomona Pectin, there is no going back to any of the others. These recipes are made specifically to use with this pectin. The end products are better than delicious and they have a very low sugar content. They taste more like fruit spreads than jams or jellies. The a... | [] | 1592335594 | 1592335594 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,441,829,436,000 | 0 | true |
4 | Great Guidebook | This is a very nice pocket identification guide. Clear, concise pictures and illustrations with easy to read facts and information. Each critter has it's own page, so there is no flipping back and forth like the Audubon guides. Small enough for a field jacket pocket. There are 148 species listed, so due to the small si... | [] | 1426214766 | 1426214766 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,432,414,407,000 | 0 | false |

4 | Cool Title, Age Old Concept | This book has a wonderful title, but it isn't really a new idea.

3 | Disappointing | I was really expecting a lot more from this book. The author does seem to be very knowledgeable about the subject. My initial takeaway though is that I would never eat any of this because it all tastes bad. He makes a big point about telling you that these edible plants are not that truly tasty. It seems that foraging ... | [] | 0976626608 | 0976626608 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,409,489,038,000 | 1 | true |
2 | Not a Great Read For Sure | This is very poorly written. Not sure what the deal is, but I'm glad I didn't pay much for it. Seems I fell for the fact that I had a brain cramp and realized this wasn't Lincoln Child or Douglas Preston. | [] | B00K3NNGW8 | B00K3NNGW8 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,407,351,238,000 | 0 | false |

3 | Strange Format | I got this book as a supplement to the previous one with plant life in it. This is strangely done with a dark blue background and white pictures. Wouldn't recommend it truthfully. | [] | 0486468887 | 0486468887 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,402,947,456,000 | 0 | true |

5 | Wonderful Story | This was a really unique and interesting story. First time I have read this author and I will try her again.

3 | Very Technical | I was hoping for a lot more with this book. Maybe I'm just dense, but I found the approach to shading in this somewhat over the top. I've been doing artwork most of my life and the concepts here aren't anything new or innovative. I guess I was looking for something more innovative. | [] | 0615753221 | 0615753221 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,393,277,159,000 | 3 | true |
3 | Much Too Detailed For Children | This book is way too detailed for most children I know. I think these books should be marketed to adults and not listed as "toys". | [] | 0486426440 | 0486426440 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,383,081,129,000 | 0 | true |
5 | Finally A Chicken Book That Makes Sense | This is the 4th or 5th such book I have purchased in recent months as I prepare to embark on my chicken adventure in retirement. I've tried the Dummy Book which requires a Phd. in Chicken to understand. Don't bother with that one. I have the Ussery "small flock" book which I suspect will come in handy down the road a p... | [] | 1624140068 | 1624140068 | AFXMJCVLRCGRAEC7P37FZHEB24UQ | 1,377,695,714,000 | 3 | true |
