Beautiful book with average recipes

This book is beautiful and written in a way that I can't wait to get into the kitchen to cook. The recipes generally use a low number of ingredients that are relatively simple and easy to buy. The pictures are beautiful too. However, I have tried several recipes by now and none of those pasta sauces have been all that good. Sure, you might think it's my cooking skills but what I mean is that I have had much better success with other recipes. Maybe my expectations are too high because of the wonderful description of each sauce but overall I am just not impressed.
