Title: great book
Review: I love meatballs and this book certainly delivered tons of recipes. Great to read first and get a feel for the book.

Title: full of useful recipes
Review: I like the international variety this book has for meatballs. someone mentioned negatively that they were printed elsewhere before or there is nothing new. I have no idea compared to other meatball books. I just know it has a good collection and it goes with this series of 16 books from this publisher(which I have collected all but the drinks book). the first copy arrived with some minor damage, if it wasn't an expensive book I might of let it slide. amazon shipped me another one and its in perfect condition so I am very happy.

Title: Good recipes, odd photos
Review: I have made a dozen recipes from this book and have been pleased with the results. It is a physically attractive book also, heavy, with a nice print job. But — I do not think that the photos were handled well. In a number of cases, the photo does not match the recipe (added or missing ingredients.) And in a few cases, multiple recipes share the same food images (see pages 305 and 314 — it’s the same thing, and neither recipe calls for mustard seed, which is visibly present in the photos.) The use of stock photos to illustrate specific recipes is pretty disappointing for an MSRP $35 cookbook. I am an experienced cook and do not need photos as a guide, but I feel sorry for people who wonder why their end result doesn’t match the image provided. I am rating four stars for the taste and visual appeal of my finished dishes.

Title: Recycled recipes. Not focused. Bait and Switch.
Review: The good: good meatball recipes with a lot of variety.The sad sad bad: The author's and\or the publisher reprinted all recipes from a previous cookbook with a different title by the same author. Any variations are extremely minor, rare, and insignificant. Unfortunately recently read reviews confirm that other cookbooks by this author have suffered the same fate. "The Meatball Cookbook Bible" is the cookbook --- authored by Brown --- to buy, and it's cheaper.Not focused --- presenting a small sample of the issues --- Over 250 pages of non-meatballs recipes in the sections entitled "Sides & Accompaniments" and "Stocks & Sauces". If one did not have a singular cookbook or access to recipes (e.g., friends, online sources, etc.), then this over one third of the book would be of some value. The recipes in these sections are average at best; not the caliber of the meatball recipes. It is difficult imagine how most of these recipes relate to a meatball cookbook\meal (e.g., Shakshuka, Peppers Stuffed with Greek Salad, Mac & Cheese, Beef & Corn Casserole, etc.). Still other recipes from these same section seem to be thrown into the book as filler --- Bread, Pasta, Dinner Rolls, and Sauces for anything and most everything.Bait and Switch: I feel had. I thought a newer version of the author's book --- again not marketed\packaged as a newer edition, but as a new book on the same subject --- would be better, it was my mistake. Live and learn. I'm keeping my "The Meatball Cookbook Bible" and sending this book to the used bookstore.

Title: Only half the book is meatballs!
Review: The photos are beautiful but only about half of the book is recipes for meatballs. The other half includes breads and desserts. Just half was unexpected.My big disappointment is how the proportions are strange in this cookbook. Nearly EVERY meatball recipe calls for 1 1/4 pounds of meat. Ground beef is easy and can be purchased at a service counter in exact amounts if you are willing to insist on exactly 20 ounces while others may be waiting. Other meats - ground lamb, ground chicken, ground turkey, some sausages are usually sold (where I live) in pre-packaged tubes or one pound blocks in vacuum sealed packages. My butcher wraps our meat bundles in one pound packages. I am not sure I want to spend twice as much for 2 pounds of lamb (for example), then manage the odd size 3/4 pound leftover meat to avoid waste for each recipe I try. Scaling the other ingredients such as a single egg or half teaspoons of spices each to 80% seems like a hassle. This book results in guesswork. That is not why I buy cookbooks.I am flipping through this book for ideas, but this is headed for donation.
