Customer Reviews

the best help you can get in the kitchen!
This is no ordinary cookery book. It is - as the author states - great assistance to busy people, especially with over 300, easy-to-follow recipes. The ingredients mentioned in nearly all the recipes are always readily available in stores; but i think the best two features of this book are: [1] step-by-step photos in all recipes to help you follow the recipe to get the best results, and [2] an additional index which is not not just by name of the recipe but also accompanied with a photo of how the end result will look. This is quite innovative and particularly helpful when going through the index to select a recipe. I definitely recommend it!
