We don't do holiday leftover recipes in my family - that's because we only have this holiday dinner once a year and can't stop eating the leftovers before anyone can decide to do something else with them.  I really downloaded this out of curiosity and excitedly opened it up and was instantly disappointed....1) No Table of Contents - who uses a cookbook without knowing what's in it and where to find recipes for the leftovers they have?2) All the recipes run together - I like my digital cookbooks with a page break, so I know it's the end of the recipe when I'm cooking (it's a cook's thing!).3) Recipes are in different formats - like you find them on the Internet or your card recipe file.  I like all the recipes in a cookbook in the same format; they're easier to use that way.4) Turkey Enchiladas - Let's say I follow the recipe instructions to "wrap tortillas in foil."  Now I make the sauce and I'm ready to fill the tortillas.  Well, they're still in the oven and the recipe says to "spoon the chicken and sauce mixture atop each tortilla.  Roll up."  They're already rolled up and in the oven.  I'm confused... well - I'm not, because I'm a cook and I know to read the entire recipe BEFORE I get started.  What about someone who is new to cooking?  Kinda confusing!!5) Some of the recipes have pictures, but not all of them.  Makes me think they couldn't find pictures for the rest.  How about taking your own?  Usually cookbooks have pictures at the beginning of a section to represent what you'll find in the following section.6) I thought I was done with all the issues in the book.  Evidently not because now the recipe heading is on 1 page and the recipe is on the next.  Oops - fonts have changed!!!  I'll stop now.Maybe the recipes are OK - they're leftovers, after all.  Personally, I wouldn't trust the cookbook with all the inconsistencies.I like the cover and the pics inside; just not the mess.
