Summary: I love this book!!
Review: I might as well throw out the rest of my cookbooks, because this is the one I use 99.99% of the time. The directions are explained very clearly and the book contains a wealth of recipes. It also doesn't require you to have a lot of fancy kitchen gadgets or exotic ingredients.

Summary: Excellent Gift for NewlyWeds
Review: I received this as a gift from a friend, and it is an excellent source for cooking. If you want to give a couple a great gift--this is one that qualifies. I cooked out of this book for awhile. Best features of this book are the photos and clear format on white background. A MUST HAVE for every kitchen!

Summary: Great book with fantastic pictures
Review: This book is practically a coffee table cook book. There are pictures of every single recipe. They also include pictures of many of the preparations, as well as many different suggestions on each recipe. At the beginning of each chapter recipes are classified into economical, ethic classic, hearty meal, traditional, and family choices. Using this classification method as well as the picture really helps you figure out if this recipe is going to work for the people you are going to serve. I have tried several of the many recipes in there, and I have had great results. This book would be perfect for somone starting out, or even someone trying to refreshen up their recipe rotation.
