Most cookbooks that aren't aimed at beginners don't include prep time - the recipe will say "1 onion, diced" or whatever. I always thought I was a slow cook because I could never get things done in the listed time until I realized that it's standard to not include prep time in the total time.

I just checked out the preface, and I did not see the author delving "extensively into politics", or anything "elitist". If there were political views expressed, I didn't see them.

If anything, the preface expressed anti-elitist sentiment in that it called for more advancement opportunities for the rank-and-file staff cooking in restaurant kitchens and for more diversity among recipe writers.

I agree that food should bring us together. The preface suggests that a cookbook that brings together recipes collected from many different cultures and ethnicities should also seek out recipe authors of different cultures and ethnicities to provide those recipes - which makes sense to me. The preface said that they tried to strike a balance between including traditional and authentic recipes along with American interpretations and adaptations.

I bought it, skimmed the preface, she's giving the context in which she was developing the book. People read politics into things that aren't inherently political these days. Try and enjoy the recipes, skip the preface if it bugs you.

Not a huge fan of Kindle licensing, as well as the idea of a digital cookbook. But it's 80¢ after no rush credits (which I normally forget to use), so why not. I'll use it tonight and that'll make it worth at least the 80¢. Thanks OP!

Comparing the Ebook to hardcover price is a little odd. 1027 page ebook vs 1032 page hardcover. Review says it lacks prep times so it may take a bit longer than expected to make things

I have a couple cookbooks in paper and kindle form just for the ability to search. The convenience is worth a couple bucks if you use it enough.

I bought it a couple days ago with no rush credits...

Showing 1 to 25 of 24259 items

How is that even possible?

I get a bunch of no rush credits so made a separate wish list for books. Whenever one seems somewhat interesting but not must read it now at full price interesting, it gets added to the list so there is always something on deck to use up the credits before the expire.

I'll go ahead and buy some supplies to earn that no-rush credit and get it. However, when I checked eBay for hard copies and reviewed a photo of the preface to the updated edition, I found that the author delves extensively into politics, which, in my opinion, has no place in a cookbook, regardless of one's political views. I find it rather bizarre to begin a cookbook in this manner. Cooking, and food in general, are about experiences and connecting with loved ones. This preface seems to signal elitism.

I love my kindle, but recipes is one thing a small e-reader isn't going to be great for...

The origins of dishes are frequently bound to the very political reasons for certain people being in certain places at certain times. Being human is to have history.

There is Kindle app for PC. You don't really have to read a Kindle book specifically in a Kindle device.
