I think my mother gave me this book because she was tired of eating all the time the same thing when she came home! And there, with nearly 1,000 recipes I have no excuses! A wide variety of recipes, simple (chicken breast with honey and balsamic vinegar crumble) or more sophisticated (black forest raspberry, curry monkfish) but all well explained step by step with easy to find ingredients I ' have never been so want to cook! And in addition there is plenty of information about products, tips to choose fruit and vegetables and information on cooking times for meat, fish, vegetables. In short, this is a comprehensive book hyper and really very useful that I recommend to all!
