Anyways, I tried the "Nourishing Rice" recipe and I was highly disappointed, for one, the end result was not only salty but also soggy, and with the inmense amount of meats versus the rice ratio, the recipie should have been called "Nourishing Pork" not rice.
I think this recipie will not only benefit from the addition of half chicken stock and half water if not the omission of the chicken stock altogether which in the end does not add flavor since it is overpowered by the strong pork/ham/chorizo flavors...and it would help control the salt problem.
I should have known better with the ratio presented but I gave it a try since a lot of people seem to believe she is an authority on the spanish cooking scene.(which makes me wonder how many of them exactly have tried her recipies)
I know I made no mistakes while preparing this recipe, I grew up on this cuisine, and I honestly think that if this is what the best has to offer with all their culinary schooling; I am better off skiping the schooling and putting the money towards publishing my own book!!!
What a waste of my money.
By the way I would take my case to any kitchen against the author and more than prove my point.

Unless you have prior knowledge of circuit theory, do not purchase this book. The book is only good if you want to sharpen your existing circuit theory skills.
As a supplementary text, I used the Schaum's series on Electric Circuits, by Edminster and Nahvi.

The title of the Book is "ASP XML", and from this title I choose this book, because I wanted a book that would help me to use XML in ASP. That wasn't the case in some of the book examples.
The book content (without the case study) is only 15 chapter that spans 366 pages covering all different aspects of XML and XML integration of ASP. The information presented is very basic and lacks basic knowledge of XML, for example XSL was covered very poorly in the book ( MSDN was more helpful to me than the book). Chapter 11 through 14 were very useful though, especially chapter 14 that covers useful XML procedure libraries.
The case studies spans around 180 pages, there are 6 case studies. They were very confusing to me and none of them helped me solving any of the business requirements I was tackling.
The rest of the book contains appendices that are useful to have them all in the same book, but you can get them over the Internet for free.
Last word to say is that I was disappointed with this book.

Paul and his daughter move to southern California to be closer to Paul's new girlfriend, and Harry follows to set up a new practice there. Paul is soon retained by Jonah Hale to help find Jonah's granddaughter who was snatched from his custody by Jonah's daughter. What seems to be a clear-cut, if not easily resolved case soon escalates to murder and Paul decides to represent Jonah in court.
There are excellent descriptions of Paul's southern California locale, right down to certain street names. This tediousness detracts from the action somewhat. But like some of the other reviews noted, the killer is quite obvious less than halfway through the book. It is a mystery (excuse the pun) why a writer as skilled as Martini would give a clue as to the killer's identity that all but reaches out and slaps the reader across the face. This aside, "The Attorney" is tightly paced thriller that is suspenseful despite knowing who the killer is early on in the book. Martini is a writer that is among the ranks of Scott Turow and Richard North Patterson, and it is good to finally see him returning to the legal thriller genre where he writes best.
