Query: Well meaning but not for true connoisseurs of the fine life...

This is a small book of recipes, punctuated with brief, one-line ideas for "savouring the extravagances of life" such as "eating an entire pint of good ice cream by yourself". I was slightly disappointed because with a title such as "thoughts and recipes for savoring the extravagances of life" I was expecting ideas that were more glamorous, more extravagant and infused with more savoir-faire than what was offered here. I felt a certain lack of imagination. To be fair, I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but I was expecting the recipes to take my breath away...salmon steaks puttanesca and peppery country ham pate don't really stir my imagination in the same way....
