Nowhere quite _as_ valuable IMHO.  It's not just the 200+ recipes,
it's the numerous _snippets_ that show very directly HOW-TO do one
thing or another... then, sure, the text can also be quite helpful
(I hope so, at least; I'm biased, obviously:-) by showing what is
going on, what's preferable under what conditions, and so on...
