Way too big for what it is and some of the writing is confusing, but I like the overall message and I’m interested in trying out the ideas presented. The idea of learning to adapt and cook without recipes is worthy, and the tips provided were helpful. However, I wish there were even more tips or exercises for figuring out your palate and how to fix flavor and other problems, or a recommendation for further reading about how to adapt in the kitchen. This whole book seems like it would be better suited to a cooking show or web series. 

Still think it’s ridiculous that a book like this is the size of a textbook. Well done index though.
