A review of ! (above)
Rockin' N's review of Princess Meg's
cookie recipe starts well. The discussion of Princess
Meg's previous culinary efforts remind us of the long
tradition of Princess Meg-made office treats, and serves
as a passable introduction to the Princess Meg ouevre
for those who are unfamiliar with it.
Rockin' N's listing of notable features of the cookies
(describing them as "especially nice for people who
love fruit and get sick of all those chocolatey sweets")
helps focus the reader's attention on some key attributes
of the cookies (such as their fruit content and lack
of reliance on chocolate-based ingredients), and might
get some users thinking of other good points of the
cookies. Comments like this, as well as other suggested
uses for the cookies ("picnic or midnight snack") may
be helpful starting points for "workshop"-style discussions
of the cookie recipe.
However, one thing is missing from the review. Rockin'
N clearly hasn't tried to make the recipe herself, and
you can see that her comments are restricted only to
the taste of the cookies ("delightful"), and there is
no comment on how easy the cookies are to prepare. This
prevents the review from being a truly objective analysis
of the cookies in question.
I'm giving Rockin' N's review 3
out of 5. I think this is a very promising effort
from her first review, and shows a lot of potential.
While her lack of depth is a disappointment, her appraisal
of the cookies as "scrumptious" is an accurate one,
and is sure to delight fans of Princess Meg's work.
