Get cooking!

I saw this book on my best friends kitchen shelf. Every time I'm in her kitchen I look for a recipe to add to my long list of recipes. I've finally decided to buy my own copy. I like the fact that I don't need a massive list of ingredients to create really tasty food. I defy anyone not to find this book a revolution in gourmet cooking.

Easy as Pie

The book itself is beautifully done- easy to follow recipes, clear how-to photos, and big photos of the finished dishes. It's fun just to look through the pages, even if you're not planning to cook that particular day. The recipes offer something for everyone- easy soups to desserts, chocolates to fruits, meats, fish, vegetarian. You can create fantastic dishes that look gourmet-complicated, and try new flavors without investing in a long list of weird ingredients. If you have the basics in your pantry, you'll be able to make nearly every dish. As for the desserts, keep a supply of heavy/double cream, as it seems to be one of the "3-4" ingredients in most dessert recipes. (Although, if you do have the cream, you'll be tempted to make a new dessert each night!) I love to cook, and have shelves of cookbooks, but this has quickly become my favorite cookbook because the recipes are both simple and gorgeous. I got my copy on sale, but it's well worth buying at any price. Enjoy.
