Synopsis: From the Introduction: I know a dozen people who buy every new cookbook that makes a big splash. When they get home they look through it avidly (it's usually splendid), read a few of the recipes, dream bliss- fully over the color photographs, and then stow the book next to all the others on the kitchen bookshelf.
In the meantime, they go on making the same old pot roasts and hamburgers and roast chickens they've always made. For parties, they throw a couple of eggs and some milk into a cake mix and shove it into the oven. Why?

I'll tell you what I think. Many people who prepare meals for themselves, their friends or their families are really afraid of cooking! They don't trust themselves too far, even with a recipe in front of them, because they've discovered that even a great recipe from a great cookbook often presupposes a degree of kitchen expertise which they don't have.

This is the book for them.

Overall Condition: Acceptable: The book has some minor wear. It has a miniscule cut to the cover's bottom edge, but its integrity is intact. There is no writing in the margins or underlining and highlighting of text, and there are no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text. See images.
