As I noted in my review, the book is a slim volume with recipes for just 35 dishes. But in that, you do get a feel of what MPW was doing in his kitchens at the time. These days, we take it for granted that restaurant cookbooks will contain well over 100 recipes, but I'd argue that few of them give you the same insight on the chef or the restaurant as "White Heat" does. Thanks for the comment, Dawn.
