Wonderful buying experience.
So very happy with my purchase. My husband has been trying to steal my cookbook since it arrived.I think I might just purchase one for him.Seller was terrific with speedy delivery, even through the holidays.

Fun, Yet Complicated...
I bought this cute little book because my husband and I frequented the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company restaurant when we were in Disneyland together last year - where we got engaged. So, for me it was more of a sentimental purchase. And, for eleven bucks, why not?!I just got it and I think it's super cute. It's got a lot of cute little stuff in it from the movie, as if it were written by Forrest Gump himself. It's also got a lot of the recipes that Bubba Blue mentioned his Mama making in the movie. It's cute.I recommend it for fun! It's a little complicated, and many of the recipes are so unhealthy that I believe eating them would increase my pants with just one bite. So, if you're looking for some easy shrimp dishes, this isn't the book for you.Also note - a lot of the meals included suggest unshelled shrimp. As someone that cooks shrip rarely, I get the shelled, frozen stuff at Costco and am really not interested in getting the unshelled stuff regularly. So, if I use this book, I will substitute my cheater shrimp or use it very seldom for special, "Grandma is coming over" occassions.Overall, though, it's a cute little book and I recommend it just to have. Worth the read at least!Side note: the book is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. =)

Lots of Unnecessary Stuff
The little things Bubba said through out the movie are written on the side of the pages.Initially the beginning of the book is ok as an intro.But the Recipes are a little confusing and NOT to the point. Could have been written better and more info given.The Index in the back could have been MUCH easier to find things.

Came from Southern Living
These were Southern Living recipes, so I guess I expected a little more. So far nothing has been bad, but I can't say I've found anything I would make again. It's a cute title, but not much beyond basics, and not much help in the 'shrimp and grits' department either. Again, I don't want to knock what is there, it just didn't do much to spark my imagination.

Okay cookbook
Got sucked in by the Forrest Gump tag. Nothing exciting but had a few good recipes.

Really disappointed
As a lover of the Bubba Gump restaurants I was very excited to see this book and bought it straight away.However, none of my favourite recipies (and according to the waitresses - the most popular meals) are in there and the measurements are all in 'cups' rather than grammes/kilogrammes. Together with the fact some ingredients are difficult to get in normal UK supermarkets, the book has been put to the back of the cupboard and I can't see me being in a rush to get it out again.
