i love love love this cook book. it got me through my single days and now my husband thinks im the best cook ever but im always pulling this out. i have tons of cook books and they are hardly open. this one is about to die on me so im gonna get another copy. i use this one so much the cover is gone the pages are stained and i will keep using it. buy this cook book and i promise you will be a pro in no time. perfect for anyone who is just starting out or just looking for something fast.
