This is a cookbook that has much to offer students. First, it's visually attractive and inviting. Then, it's smartly organized and easy to read and follow—with beautiful color photographs, to boot. Each recipe is accompanied by the cook/author's conversational comments, which help home cooks understand what they're making and how to do it. An opening note on ingredients gives just enough information to be helpful but not overly arcane. Also there's a full array of dishes and styles and categories (with vegetarian, meat, snack and dessert options), helpful notes on ingredients, and a well-ordered index. The book looks like a labor of love for its UK restaurateur and TV host, and one that might cost considerably more than it does, too. A few recipes call for exotic meats (wood pigeon, venison) or herbs and spices (fresh and dried fenugreek), but most don't. Also, cooking instructions for most dishes aren't excessively complicated.
