Guaranteed! This book will make u a gourmet chef in mins!

Anyone who dares use this cookbook will immediately know why just about every cookbook written by Michele Evans is on the "hard to find" list everywhere. I am positive that this is absolutely the best cookbook ever written - ever! Her recipes are simple. Michele shows you how to prepare delicious meals with a gourmet touch. Once you've tried one recipe, you are hooked. You come away from the table truly feeling like Jacques Pepin, whom she once studied with (except culinary greatness is achieved in as little as 15 mins - including dessert - in many of her best recipes here. Other menus take 60 or 30 mins, so you pick exactly how long you feel like being in the kitchen.) Wonderful! She has also studied with Simone Beck and James Beard as well. As a menu and food lover, I have gone through hundreds of cookbooks at the library. When I came across "Fearless Cooking" my family and friends fell in love with it immediately. I have been searching and searching for this book and finally located it at a library here in northern Virginia. So I tell you, if you can get your hands on this cookbook, or any of her others I'm sure, you will not be disappointed. There are over 250 "complete" meals included and over 550 recipes in all. Michele also included a section on cocktail and birthday parties, and holiday celebrations. And for the single men out there. Tired of eating out all the time but love quality cooking? Pick up Michele's book "Fearless Cooking for Men" or "Fearless Cooking for One". Even if you're an amateur, you will ace these recipes. You'll never "have" to go to the restaurant again. And for parents who want to share their love of cooking with their kids, let them start off with one of Michele's 15-min quick-and-easy gourmet dishes. What a way to spark a young child's interest and introduce them to the wonderful world of food! And it really couldn't get any simpler than this book. So if you love to cook and you love to eat, try her simple gourmet recipes. Why eat the same foods day in and day out? There are too many recipes out there to add spice to our lives. Plus, we can start with all of Michele's books (if we could just find them). So go for it! If you're not impressed, please feel free to E-mail me and tell me that I'm an idiot!
