ruthmittiga's review against another edition

Kris is legit batshit, but for some reason I am obsessed with reading books written by this family. I read the entire book, including recipes and all her memories. It was kind of weird that she included a recipe by her murdered bff, Nicole Brown Simpson especially since she was married to the man on the legal team that defended Nicole's killer and that Kris also possibly had a baby with her best friend's murderer (Khloe). I believe Khloe is spelled with an accent but can you believe that after a year of typing class in middle school and basically typing every day of my life for the last 20 years, I still don't know how to put an accent mark on a letter?
At times this book was a little confusing because Kris frequently mentions that something was Rob's favorite or she made it for Rob's birthday every year and it was unclear whether it was her son or ex-husband. I believe in most cases it was her son. The recipes really run the gamut from Kim's secret recipe for Cream of Wheat (it's the one on the box), to more complex Armenian inspired dishes. The Cream of Wheat is another recipe where Kris is able to play on our sympathies as there is a long bit about how at the end of Rob Senior's life, the only food he could tolerate was Kim's Cream of Wheat. I already knew this as I have read Kardashian Konfidential.
I borrowed this book from the library and I will be honest, I'm probably going to check it out again because some of the recipes look pretty good and also I'd like to see if they actually come out or if this book is a total sham. I assume that I'm probably better off finding a quality Armenian cookbook than trusting Kris Kardashian Jenner, but I still need to know.
I am also mega jealous of Kris' holiday table decorating skills. I feel my life would be a lot better if I knew how to tastefully decorate a table for various holidays especially Autumn ones. I hope that Kris and Kourtney will come out with a home decorating book in the near future.

I get this is a cookbook and you can't really read, rate or review it but this felt more like a autobiography interspersed with relevant recipes to cook. I really enjoyed the layout of this book. Nice and easy to read and follow along. With the Kardashian's as my guilty pleasure I really enjoyed the insights into the family via recipes as this was a new take on their lives. However, the recipes were a bit too 'posh' for the average cook (though what do you expect from a Kardashian cookbook).
Hardback, owned.

I was looking forward to reading this quite a lot - it's a great cookbook really. Like her tv series, Kris Jenner opens up the vault and unearths some of her friends & family's favourite recipes. The recipes themselves I found were a bit excessive, but being Krazy for all things Kardashian I did enjoy this.
