gotta love rachel ray !! ... this said , i got this book for my daughter who is a foodnetwork watcher .... thinking she would be happy . daughter is also limited in available space , so this is her assessment of this book : she liked it , but in her words , we are too poor for these recipies . i agree . the recipies look awesome and varid , but they do use above average ingidients that can be quite expensive . and i do cook and have many cookbooks . this is defenitly not your average , grab something cheap of the walmart saleslist , spending my last dollar kind of cookbook . otherwise , awesome glossy pages and very nice pictures ....
