Review: Classic recipes, but not truly complete

This is a great resource, with many classic recipes and techniques, but it's not exactly healthy cooking.There are very few whole grain recipes, no nutritional or caloric information or guidance, few low fat or dietetic choices offered. Nor is there much in it for vegetarians. Many of the vegetable recipes contained meat or meat byproducts such as meat based broth, bacon, etc. There isn't even a recipe for a good vegetable broth that one could use as a substitute. While I didn't expect this to be a health food cook book, there could have been more thought given to including recipes for those who don't want to eat high fat, animal centric, fattening foods.So, download this as a resource, but be aware that it's not suitable for those who are watching their weight, diet or are vegetarians.
