Would Have Been Amazing Had It Been Readable
I eagerly ordered the 2019 revised Joy of Cooking Hardbound cookbook. I am a long-time fan, so this revision would be a sentimental and practical gift for myself and those I love to feed. As promised, it is so comprehensive and filled with wonderful recipes and tips. However, I am not exaggerating when I say that the text is impractically small and light. So even though it is an abundant book filled with everything a cook could use and learn from, propping it up on my kitchen counter to follow a recipe would require spotlights and magnification. That cancels out how amazing the revised cookbook is for me. I have already printed out a return barcode to send it back. I'm sad. If you have extraordinary eyesight, please don't let my review stop you from this comprehensive edition. My long-felt sentimentality of this cookbook is why I didn't give it one star. But I thought about it. How can one highly rate a cookbook that is difficult to read?
