Single-topic food books have been very successful, for example, Mark Kurlansky's books on cod and on salt. A single-topic book about butter seemed a sure winner. Unfortunately, Angel Shannon's little book doesn't talk about the varieties of butter: cultured and sweet cream, salted and unsalted, higher and lower butterfat content. It doesn't delve into the chemistry of butter to explain its behaviour in cooking. It does mention clarified butter but does not discuss the specific uses of ghee. A procedure for clarifying butter at home is offered but it reads like a couple of quite necessary steps were left out. Shannon gives many of her recipes silly names which sound like they escaped from a 1950s cookbook or women's magazine: "Jolly Jelly-Filled Biscuits," "Gooey-Nutty Pull-aparts," "Huevos Ole," "Choco-Nana Bonanza Bars," "Beefed-Up Man's Meal," and "Swiss Chicken Bliss." And her recipes require some odd ingredients: a jar of pesto (rather than explaining how to make it fresh), Italian seasoning mix (rather than its components), Cool Whip, a box of yellow cake mix, canned condensed cream of mushroom soup, and Velveeta. She does offer a recipe for Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwiches but not as good as the one given at the website of the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.

Clearly some of these recipes were copy and pasted from other sources. This cookbook claims to be a celebration of butter with its title indicating a stick of butter per each recipe. However, the recipe on page 23, the instructions clearly state to cream margarine, though none is indicated in the list of ingredients. Not impressive at all for a book titled "stick of butter". No note worthy recipes, even for butter lovers such as myself and my family.
