[Seguro] ¿Realmente necesitas un texto de visión general cuando lo que buscas es una receta rápida para la cena de hoy? [Seguro] El propio material promocional de la editorial es parco y extremadamente sintético, lo que deja claro que no estamos ante un manual práctico de cocina sino ante un texto introductorio de carácter explicativo. [Probable] No satisface en absoluto al cocinero pragmático que requiere instrucciones técnicas detalladas o fotografías paso a paso, ni a quien busque un recetario tradicional. [Seguro] Su lugar en la estantería de cocina regional está justifiedo únicamente como una guía de fondo cultural para quienes valoran el contexto antropológico por encima de la ejecución en la estufa.
