After a couple of Grandma's friends reported having problems even opening this book, Grandma took the time to download it and open it in Kindle for Mac.  Boy oh boy, did Grandma ever get the surprise of a lifetime!Who could ever have guessed that Chocolate Waffles were either Asian or "savoury?"  Ditto for all of these other things - ridiculous names omitted in favor of description of the item in questionBacon, Egg and Cheese Muffin Cups?Scrambled Eggs with cheddar cheese served with toast?Pancake Balls - look to be similar to AebleskiversWhole Wheat Strawberry WafflesHam and Cheese Toast TurnoverOmelet with corned beef and cheddar cheeseStrawberry - oatmeal "drink" with soy milk"Upside down cheesy egg turnover" - essentally a 2 eggs omelet folded over some cheddar cheesePeanut butter and jelly bar cookies"Hot doggy golden waffles" - waffles with hot dogs and cheddar cheeseHot Chocolate Porridge - cocoa, 2 cans condensed milk, glutinous rice. VERY healthy breakfast - very large recipe too.Superman Toast - toast with NutellaFried Rice made with spam and frozen mixed vegetablesDeep Fried Banana FrittersMixed fruitorange-oatmeal-banana-skim milk blender mess"Green slimy avocado mix" - another blender drinkOatmeal pancakesBanana breadGrandma also found the About This Author decidedly ODD.  "Betty' writes:The Author Betty is a typical homemaker that does not have any special training in food preparation, cooking or even writing cookbook. But she has passion ever since she was 8 years old. Her mother introduced her to play in the kitchen, but of course with supervision and caution. She is a fast learner and able to create wonderful delights with the help of her mother. Her mother is very strict, and constantly pushing her to learn how to cook. Her mother told here, "cooking is something that you can't take away from you and your family will soon benefit from it, so you must really learn".Due to that, Betty even took up a degree on culinary arts to expand her cooking talent.Would somebody please explain to Grandma how "Betty" can be a typical homemaker with no special training in "food preparation, cooking or even writing a cookbook" while at the same time having acquired a degree in culinary arts?  Surely a degree in culinary arts qualifies as special training in food preparation and cooking!Two thumbs down!  Definitely not recommended!
