The thing I love about cookbooks is the food...I mean, that's what we come for, right? New ideas, something delicious, a little inspiration to put on the table for one or twenty...but there is something special about smaller, or more personal cookbooks like this.
The recipes it contains are varied, as are the difficulty/skill involved in making them, but they all feel like a good home cooked meal waiting to happen. What I mean is, smaller or more intimate cookbooks that don't go for masses upon masses of recipes seem to care more about the recipient of the meal versus making a big to-do...almost like the author is inviting you in for a meal right off their very own table. I can see the steam coming off the Orange and Garlic Chicken legs fresh from the oven, and smell the aroma of the Perfect Spiced Potato Wedges as our mouth's water in anticipation of the delicious meal at hand. The extra point of interest with this one is that combined with the author's stories and recipes, there are also how-to's on making pasta, when to plant and harvest your own vegetables, and even a few basics on setting up your pantry for cooking success.
So whether you're looking to make your next dinner party more personal, or jazz up your everyday dining room table, this book has a few suggestions on how to take it from humdrum to delightful without a ton of fuss. A great idea for budding chefs and foodie's alike!

Whilst personally a disaster in the kitchen I do nevertheless enjoy cookery books and this one sounds like a GOOD cookery book in that not only does it provide the recipes but it goes into so much more.
