The recipes are legit delicious and include some seriously handy tips. It really feels like it’s been written by someone who’s cooked the recipe heaps of times and thought about what the average person might mess up or need substitutions for, etc. They’re also great for beginners learning cooking techniques and how to taste for certain things etc. You have to have tried a few recipes to go “oh wow”.
On top of that, the sheer range of cuisines and dish types makes it invaluable for everything from staples to banquets.
Thanks for the polite and helpful explanation! Somebody gifted me her cookbook as a housewarming/Chrissy thing. I’ve had a flick through and yeah it does seem like a decent range of cuisines
I’ve gifted that cookbook a couple of times to rave reviews. Me, I’m too messy to use a cookbook now, but it’s really great for recipe inspiration when you’re starting out on your own (I used to rely on a Madhur Jaffrey cookbook gifted to me when I first started uni).
Easier to write notes in, stay focused when you’ve picked a recipe and are making it, and great for just randomly looking at things you might have never thought to look up
