Query: Wish I could give NO stars!

I bought this book around New Years Eve, because I was going to have a party with my friends. I thought there would be some great recipes in this book to entertain with. I had some real probles with the directions on some of the recipes. They were incomplete and inaccurate. Also, if you followed the recipes according to Emerils directions, the food had too much seasoning. The flavor was not very good at all. I was a little embarrassed in front of my friends, because I'm usually a very good cook. This book is not that good. I wish it were better, because I have always enjoyed Emeril before. I hope he does better in the future.
