Actually, he specifically says beginners are welcome to apply.  After all, 
your input may help clarify something that *he* understands perfectly well 
as a professional, but that might be unclear to some of the cookbook's 
future buyers, who aren't pros.  It's really easy to leave out things - in 
cooking instructions, in computer coding, in driving directions - because 
your brain fills in the blanks for you when you already know what's going on.
