Query: Not Pleased

I'm a very good cook and southern cooking is my speciality. I have this cookbook and have tried several of the recipes. None of those that I tried (about 10) was top notch as compared to other like recipes. I have stopped using this cookbook as I am tired of wasting money on ingredients. Perhaps these recipes have not been scaled down properly. It's difficult to go from restaurant size to 6 servings.
