A good book for the basics, but basics with flair. The only problem I would have with this book is that it really is a book for someone setting up home for the first time but all the recipies are family sized. Would have been a bit better if there was a bit more about reducing/increasing recipies for the beginner, overall though not a bad book that is a little less bland than most. ( )
