(More customer reviews)My husband and I have been married just a few months and we got this book for Christmas. Although we can both boil water, neither of us is very experienced in the kitchen. (We order lots of take-out.) When we began thumbing through the pages, the first thing that struck us was how beautiful it is. There are full-color photos on just about every page, including ones that are next to EACH step of EVERY recipe. (I got a number of cookbooks for my shower, but none of them have as many photos as this book.) For me, this is really helpful during the learning process, because it is so much easier to follow an instruction if I can see it visually. But what I really appreciate is that there are so many basic recipes and so much helpful information in each chapter. We have already tried out some of the breakfast dishes, including a number of omelets that came out perfect. I also LOVE the chapter on entertaining. Along with suggested menus (with recipes that are in the book), it gives lots of ideas for hosting all kinds of parties--sit down dinners, buffets, cocktail parties--including pointers for setting the right mood (there are even napkin-folding instructions). The author is pretty funny, too. His introductions to the chapters and the comments he makes at the recipes really crack us up. Although we just started using this cookbook, I can already tell that it is going to be one of our favorites.
