truly disappointing
As a fan of Ina Garten, both the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks and her TV show, this recipe organizer priced at $20 is a sham.
First, to have an item for sale and show no photographs and no proper description should not be allowed. Thank goodness for my local Barnes & Noble for obtaining a copy for me to preview before purchasing it. It saved me the cost of shipping it back to Amazon.
This organizer is nothing more than a cardboard accordian-style file folder. It comes with a few (not more than 10, I believe) glossy, full paged recipes from Barefoot Contessa cookbooks.
For me, I was looking for a place to store and organize all of the various recipes I have collected throughout the years... the ones I have ripped from magazines and newspapers and the ones jotted down by friends. This organizer doesn't seem any better than the kitchen drawer they are currently stored in.
I expected more of a product that bares the Barefoot Contessa name.
