Chefs and cookbooks (WAS pukka)

I bought his book "The Naked Chef," hoping it would give me some new 
main dishes to cook.  I was kind of disappointed, and I plan to 
return the book to the store.  The dishes struck me as too weird.  
Lots of lamb recipes, instructions on how to make your own ravioli 
(uh, no, I don't think so).  Maybe I'll have a look at his second 
book.

Cindy (who still thinks "The New Basics" is the best cookbook out 
there, and is awfully fond of the Silver Palate series)
