Query: Testing Recipes

I was prepared to love this cookbook after reading the other reviews and knowing something of Christina's history. However, I am not sure how tested the recipes are. For instance, the Lamb Shanks, Flageolets and Root Vegetables (the cover). In the directions, it says to remove the shanks from the oven after 1 and 1/2 hours and add the beans. The next direction is to remove 1/2 hour BEFORE it's done to add the root vegetables. Now I'm something of a seasoned cook so I don't have any trouble determining when my beans are nearly done but a novice might get confused so it would be nice to at least estimate the length of time the beans should cook.For me the recipes are lovely and I am able to convert or adapt as needed in cooking for one or two people. I recommend the book to anyone that loves o cook.
