My absolute favorite cookbook. The recipes are original and distinctive and truly can be cooked at the spur of the moment. The leek and yellow raisin chutney and flank steak marinated in peppers in adobo sauce are only two examples that can be prepared in 20 minutes yet truly impress. I haven't found a cook book that's so consistent and also suprising.
The Absolute Best!

This is my all time favorite cookbook! I have it in hard cover and am buying it for friends this year as gifts. It has the most delicious, easy recipes that will wow even the fussiest gourmand. The Sour Cream Onion Pie is incredible, the pasta dishes are easy and inspired. Even if I don't have the ingredients on hand, there is usually something in this book that gives me an idea that I can make from what is in my tiny kitchen. I highly recommend this book.
For my taste, this is her best cookbook to date.

The chocolate, pine nut tart is yummy. The zuchinni risotto is to die for. Truly fits with my cupboard staple items. Humorous at times, well written, receipes are straight forward and well organized. The index is cross referenced. For the cook who enjoys cooking from stratch but is working outside the home--perfect.
