I wanted to buy this cookbook because I had seen one and gave it to my daughter in law for Christmas. She loves the book and has used it a lot. I wasn't able to find it again until I looked on Ebay. I use it a lot too. The pictures are beautiful of the finished dish, recipes easy to read, and this copy came with a CD of some other recipes as well. I would highly recommend this book to beginning cooks, and especially for cooks looking for new recipes. The price was reasonable as well.
The spiral bound for easy access to the recipes! Recipes are down to earth and easy to read and understand. Ingredients are at arms reach and if you need something you can go to the store and get them without any hassle!
I actually purchased three of these books, all the same but from different sellers. Why, you may ask? Because I believe in doing my Christmas shopping early, then you won't be embarrassed when you don't give a gift because you don't have the money!
I would actually like to purchase another one for my future daughter-in-law because she likes to cook! I don't, I have to learn sometime! I can cook, but I don't like too!
