Query: VERY dissappointed!

After all the reviews touting this book and its' wonderful recipes I had to try it. Sorry I did. The color of the printing makes it difficult at times to read. The recipes do not entice me to even want to try them. I did try the rice pancakes and ended up discarding the batter and would not make again.Conversely, I have made several of the recipes out of Debra Murray's book for Wolfgang Puck's rice cooker. Those recipes are easy and scrumptious. Just made the Split Pea soup last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.I just don't get all the hype on this book - oh well...
