I was going to give this book a 5 star rating but I do not feel comfortable doing so. The reason being is there does seem to some down home medical advice included in this book. Personally, I get a bit concerned when I read remedies concerning pregnant women and this book does include a remedy for swollen legs in pregnancy along with numerous other home remedies for medical ailments. It is always best to leave the medical information to the healthcare professionals especially when an unborn child is involved.As to the recipes:The food mixes look interesting and would be helpful. It would have been nice to have recipes or suggestions on how to use some of the food mixes. For example the author gives recipes for oriental based mixes but not how to use them. The mix recipes are called Oriental Dry Mix and Oriental Wet Mix. Both sound good but I haven't a clue on what to do with them. There are other recipes given for mixes but no recipes on how to use them.Some of the mix recipes you will find in this cookbook include:Poultry Seasoning 1 (No directions on how to use this recipe)Apple Pie Spice (No directions on how to use this recipe)Alfredo SauceAs to the editing:The book could have used better editing. For example the word seasoning is misspelled in a couple of key places.Recommend with caveats given.
