Poaching is Puzzling ~ Cookbook Nook #12 (by Daryl Wood Gerber)

I have read a couple of books in the Cookbook Nook series and have enjoyed them so far. However, this one did not appeal to me. I grew tired of the constant synonyms. Those that appeared at the top of each chapter were okay. But to have so much of the conversation centered around synonyms was a little over the top. I understand that the theme of the book was crossword puzzles. But it was a little too overdone. The characters are well developed and some just plain got on my nerves. When there are that many who irritate me, it takes away from my pleasure of reading a book. Another matter that was overdone was the detailed cooking instructions. If the recipes are in the back of the book, you don’t need to go into that much detail in the book itself. I’m not sure I’ll continue with this series.
