20,001 Kitchen Secrets book? Any good?
The puppies woke me up early and I ended up watching an infomercial on
a book, 20,0001 Kitchen secrets. I figured if anyone knew if it was worth the paper it is printed on you guys would. I am thinking Christmas gift for Daughter in Law. Any reviews of the book? Thanks Pam

Thanks Pam If it's "20,001 Food Facts, Chef Secrets and Household Hints," take a look at this page It is supposed to be excerpts from an interview with the author. Based on just these few excerpts I would expect the book to be full of untested, unreliable, foolish crap. -aem http://www.somethingyoushouldknow.ne...pt04_27_05.htm

I don't remember the specific examples, but I thought they were all stupid, wrong, or both. I wasn't the least bit tempted to buy the book. It looked to me like the sort of book a writer would create to meet a certain perceived market for a book. Books like that are usually the worst treatment of a subject.
