Whether you are a newbie in the kitchen, looking to expand your repertoire of cooking techniques, or just desirous of more recipe options, a good cookbook that spells out the steps involved in preparing the dishes is a must have. You will find this book doing exactly as described above. There are some cooks my mother is one of them who don't need a cookbook to come up with a delicious recipe because they have the talent and skill to create their own. And then there are cooks like me; easily able to follow a recipe in a cookbook and turnout tasty preparations, but not so good at thinking up new recipe ideas on my own. I don't want to spend too much time figuring out complicated techniques, hunting down exotic ingredients, or dancing around the stove. If you share this kitchen philosophy, you will enjoy following this book; it will make it easy for you to turn out delicious recipes even if you don't possess the skillset of a TOP CHEF.
