Thoughts
I love Guy Fieri. I’ve been watching him from when he first started out on tv. He’s funny, likable, and is very entertaining. I also love his books.
But…this book didn’t interest me much at all. I didn’t find many recipes that I wanted to try, and that shocked me. Was it just the mood I was in? Maybe, but I love food so I don’t know. Was it the long lists of ingredients and too many steps? I like the opposite.
I did love the cooking info, family photos, and the stories about his family. I may pick this book up again sometime in the future to try it again because I have loved every book by Guy before this one.

I’ll bet it’s a fun book.
It was a fun book, except the recipes.
Aw, too bad it didn’t meet your expectations.
I was bummed!
Vicki,
Thank you for your honest review. Even though the recipes didn’t tempt you, it sounded like you enjoyed this book, overall.
I did, but was disappointed in the recipes.
I’m intimidated by lengthy recipes but the rest of the book sounds worth a look-see!
It definitely is!
Hi Vicky, I’m so glad you reviewed this book. I’m a fan of Guy too, and I’ve been waning to check the one out. Have you been watching his current special series on Food Network? It’s a road trip with his family that includes some interesting food stops – of course. Check it out if you can.
I love those shows!
Doesn’t sound like one for me either. I like his shows, but long ingredient lists and lots of steps are usually just not worth it for me.
There’s only my and my son, so I know what you’re talking about.
I like cooking with family.
I do too Klara.
Bummer. Too bad the recipes didn’t call to you. I think I’d like to look through it for the stories and photos, though.
I loved the stories and photos!
