Review: Amusing recipes and stilted descriptions, accurate? Not so much!

I got this for free, so perhaps I'm being overly picky, but the one thing I most appreciate in recipes (beside having pictures of the finished product) is accurate, clear, directions.  These recipes appear to have been collected by someone for whom English is not their native language, and the translation can range from comical to confusing.  But what I most dislike is the incomplete directions: bar cookies have no recommended pan sizes, recipe yields are not listed, sometimes measurements are missing.  And the patter between recipes (trying to entice you to make the cookies) is hilarious.  It reminds me of the patter of those info-mercial salespeople.  I do not recommend this work for beginner cooks. Disregard the title, this is for more experienced cooks only!
