Very useful; a manual for cooks rather than coffee table food porn. I like the line drawings. I also like the way he outlines a recipe or technique and then gives you lots of options for variations. It's similar in that respect to the Joy of Cooking. Another similarity is the fact that some recipes (Lasagna for instance) contain references to other recipes that form the components. So you have to look up the white sauce recipe, and the tomato sauce recipe, etc. The results are delicious, and the instructions are clear, and the recipes are well within the reach of the average home cook. Unlike a certain infamous celebrity chef compilation I used to own that contained recipes that contained expensive exotic ingredients, were obviously never tested, and failed spectacularly.

After living with this cookbook for three weeks, I didn't want to give it up so I went out and bought it. I've been broiling chicken thighs and baking tofu. Amazing!

This is one of my favourite cook books. There are tons of great recipes, and almost each recipe has a list of possible variations. The nicest part about this book is that there are a lot of recipes that only involve one main ingredient; its fantastic if you've got tons of some vegetable or grain to use up.
