I do not usually write a review for a book that I didn't like, but felt this book could be corrected. This is a cook book of dessert type smoothies and there is nothing wrong with that, even though I wouldn't be making these for us. My problem with this book is the measurements in the recipes. I have been cooking for many years now, and have never seen a recipe with such large amounts of vanilla extract, spices or salt. And these recipes are usually for only two servings. One smoothie had a measurement of two tablespoons of salt! The first recipe alone, made me check the rest of the book to see if it was a mistake. It was not a mistake, but was consistent through out the book. An Apple Pie Smoothie had four tablespoons of cinnamon and one tablespoon of nutmeg? Even a pumpkin pie doesn't have that much spice in it. The Blackberry Honeydew Smoothie had two tablespoons of salt???? That can't be right, can it? If it is, then I surely wouldn't be recommending this smoothie cook book to anyone.
