More and more people I read have said that Keller's largely full of shit in that book.

Essentially they figure he's lying on all of his temperatures for legal reasons (doesn't want someone to screw up, get sick and get him sued) so you can't trust anything in the book.

Nobody seems to think he's cooking things the way he says he's cooking them in that book, but rather he's taken his recipes and modified them to try to do them w/ more 'USDA' sort of guidelines that make the recipes largely worthless.
