I was curious to see if it was searchable on Amazon, which is
sometimes helpful for locating specific recipes, and it's not. The
copies they have all appear to be from re-sellers.

While looking at Amazon, I saw a (blistering) customer review of the
first cookbook (another came out last year), saying that the cookbook
is mostly narrative rather than recipes. Whether the second one is
different or not, I don't know, but both the one reviewer and someone
who commented on the review were rather unhappy about the absence of
recipes in the first book. I don't know which book they were telling
Jill to buy.
