I saw this in a bookstore and immediately stopped and opened it up because the cover photo looks delicious! I put the book on hold at my home library and read it from cover to cover. It is one of the most accessible cook books that I have read recently (and I have read many). You don't have to go out and buy a special appliance, nor do you have to shop at a gourmet food store to create the recipes. This is good home cooking! From simple coffee recipes (yes, she has a recipe for cinnamon coffee) to the ham cups on the cover, I got felt excited and at ease in reading the recipes.
Now, for the big disclaimer, I didn't make one recipe. Not one. I got as far as buying the ingredients for the ham cups, and then asked myself if it made sense to make 12 servings for 1 person. As I rethink that delimma, I have included a list of cookbooks that I've read and that I would say take a pass on, unless you have specialized appliances, excellent ethnic food stores nearby, and the patience of Job.
