REVIEW

I don't normally review cookbooks, mostly because I'm not much of a cook.  But this one appealed to me because the recipes sounded simple enough for a cooking amateur like me.  And I was right.  The recipes are great and many can be prepared in a matter of minutes and then left to cook while you do other things. In addition to the great recipes, the book is beautifully designed with gorgeous photographs that just make your mouth water.  Each recipe is easy to read and the personal comments the author provides make for a more personal touch as well as presenting ideas for how she uses the different recipes.  As an amateur I also appreciated the safety and care tips at the front of the book.  All in all a wonderful cookbook for amateur and professional alike.
