"If someone who really didn't cook asked me to recommend one book, without hesitation I would give them this. Every recipe I've made from it has come out reliably tasty. I've even used this book to cook a meal for a friend who writes for Food and Wine magazine, and it came out great. The step-by-step photo instructions, and easy to find ingredients, make it an especially great book for an aspiring home cook."
