A cookbook for the romantically spurned. At first glance, I thought this was a cute idea but worried it would crash during the execution. Upon receiving the full book, I see now that Heather Kim knows her desserts. I haven't had a chance to dive into anything in my kitchen yet, but some of her combinations sound downright dangerous for my waistline: Butterscotch bacon? Dorito sugar? I'm drooling.
I'm not a cookbook reader or owner, so I'm quite unfamiliar with the formats that are out there. From what I have seen in my very narrow experience however, is that most are printed on heavy glossy paper so that the images are pretty and the paper doesn't get permanent splashes of whatever you're cooking on it. The pages in this cookbook have a matte finish. Maybe it's unique to the ARC version? Unfortunately I have no basis for comparison, but I was personally a bit disappointed by the lack of bright colors and glossy images. If this was a design decision I think it was a poor choice. This is even more true for such a hip cookbook aimed at the teen/young-adult crowd.
