Review: Lack of Two-way Linked ToC, but Great Recipes

I have an organic kale bed in front of my house... but frankly I never really liked kale, growing it for my mother's smoothie use (ick) or for natural chicken feed roughage.  When I saw this cookbook, I was naturally intrigued - Oh man, and now I am not so "Blargh! " about eating kale!  Seriously, the Chicken, Kale, and Mushroom stir fry recipe was right up my alley and the Chicken Latkes are GOOD.  Sally Thomas adds a thoughtful touch with vegetarian substitution suggestions.There are no bizzare mispellings or such (you may be surprised at how common they are in KDP cookbooks), and the individual recipes are formatted clearly; however, there is no two-way linked ToC, making you have to page manually back from a recipe to the Table of Contents (for older Kindle Keyboards and other eReaders without a "back" button, this is a bit of a pain, Android-based Kindle Fires and the like, not so much), and there is poor introduction page formatting, leaving the Kale section with one sentence per otherwise blank page.  It is mainly the lack of a two-way linked Table of Contents that gets the -1 star, but this is a worthy lil cookbook to get if you want better ways to introduce kale (and cauliflower!) into your diet beyond the occasional icky smoothie.
