My Review:
This was the second book in the “Little Big” series I bought, after I had the Vegetarian one for a few years. I love the size: small, compact but very thick. There are pictures with every recipe, some expensive ingredients and alot of budget foods–something for everyone. I’ve made the Irish Soda Bread, some of the spaghetti’s and vegetable and focaccias.
The recipes are easy to follow, nothing complicated or out of hand. If you can boil water for eggs, you can follow most every recipe here. The recipes are mostly healthful, doesn’t require fatty, high sodium foods. You can easily substitute what you have on hand or at your local store, they are very forgiving. Even though they were written for a European audience, I’m sure they are easily understood by anyone.
I would recommend this cute little cookbook to add to your cookbook collection.
