It is really hard to review a cook book. We make a recipe every once in a while and so far every one of them turned out well. So, I guess this makes it a good book for our taste of food.
This goes directly to my "Must own" shelf! I looked at this Cook book much like a child with the old Sears "Wish book" (dating myself with that one). I remember laying on the floor with a marker in hand and putting marks on the toys I want. Okay, so I NEED to buy this book so I can mark the ones I want to make. Yummmy!!
They are easy and "clean" recipes. Ones that you can make durring the work week without much issue and still taste wonderful!
A great book for every kitchen and cook that just hates to make the same thing over and over, every work day.
I keep checking this book out from the library...I just need to buy it already. I haven't cooked from it yet though, I just love the original Naked Chef style.
Good food with insouciant instructions that inspire me to try new combinations. For example, a delicious cannellini bean, eggplant and ricotta soup that's "thick and gutsy," as Jamie says.
