I received a galley of this from the publisher, via NetGalley. I gave up on it about 20% of the way through because there were too many layout and flow issues that were impeding my ability to actually take in the content. That said, from what I did read this seems like a very chatty book that is more focused on his experiences than it is a straight cookbook. So, certainly something a cook who appreciates headnotes will enjoy, but perhaps frustrating for someone who just wants the recipes. I did enjoy the bits I could follow.
