If wishes were horses, beggars would ride; if I'd known that this was a recipe book, I wouldn't have bought it -- well, it's not entirely a recipe book (if it were, I'd have only myself to blame for bringing it home anyway), but a lot more of it's taken up by recipes than I'd anticipated, and accordingly much less by New York sass than I'd hoped. Still, I enjoyed it and perhaps the recipes will even come in useful (though healthiness doesn't seem to be a major, or even a minor consideration in their putting together, so maybe not so much then).
