I think I know at least one person in the proper audience for this cookbook, which includes anyone who has serious hand problems or is dealing with ongoing fatigue (either by itself or part of some other disability). I don't know if the author or publisher has pitched it that way, but this might be a very useful book for, say, someone with arthritis whose doctor has told them to eat less meat for health reasons. Or who is omnivorous but wants to feed a vegetarian grandchild.
Also, that minced garlic is not perfect, but it is much better than either no garlic at all, or only dried garlic, and sometimes getting real garlic is difficult to the point that we're simply not going to do it. This neighborhood isn't exactly a food desert, but I would have to make an extra out-of-the-way stop on my way home to get good garlic for large parts of the year.
