Summary: Best Practical Cookbook You'll Ever Read
Review: How often do you find a cookbook in which absolutely every recipe tastes good? This book contains only easy-to-make dishes, using readily available ingredients--none of those obscure items and wierd tastes nobody likes anyway. On the other hand, the ideas in this book are not boring at all, and incorporate influences from international cuisines. The book is organized alphabetically by food items (e.g., cauliflower, chicken wings, chicken, cooked, corn, etc.). The author is health-conscious and enormously capable. You'll use this book constantly! An outstanding buy.

Summary: Revolutionary!
Review: I used to love cooking when I had time. Now, with a busy career, I come home and the last thing I want to do is plan an intricate meal. I was bored cooking the usual pork chops and chicken, but with this book and a short shopping list of fairly banal items, you can whip something wonderful up in 10 minutes. The simplicity of the recipes is what appeals - no complicated sauces or cooking methods, just straight forward, non-nonsense, yet imaginative receipes. I never use any other book now. In fact, my book is covered with stains, I have used it so much. I am now buying it for my Mum!
