Do you know how to choose the right cooking book with correct recipes? I have a lot of culinary books in my books collection and only some of them are really useful. The same problem with internet sites and culinary blogs… from the one site, you see gorgeous pictures ( adapted with photo Editor) and positive feedbacks after published recipes ,but when start to cook understand that you are going to prepare unsuitable for eating dish.

Here is my experiment … I have took this recipe from one culinary blog and cooked spaghetti with spinach sauce. Sounds lovely, looks wonderful and absolutely unsuitable for eating.

• 500 g spaghetti
  

• 1 kg spinach

• 25 g butter

• 6 garlic cloves

• 1 1/2 cups of cooking cream 15% fat
