What you will find in this Kindle book is good tasting, easy recipes that have previously been published by the Chicago Tribune.  These recipes may show up on sites you snoop around for recipes, but you won't find them in a collection, unless you saved them yourself or get this book.Recipe Categories include:StartersMeatPoultrySeafood and FishPasta and RiceSalads and SidesDessertsIn each category you'll find 6 to 12 recipes that are easy to follow and include prep time, cooking time, number of servings, ingredient list, step-by-step instructions, nutritional information and a brief intro indicating a bit about how the Chicago Tribune's test kitchen got the recipe or where it appeared.Recipes like Tarragon Egg Salad could become a weekly favorite, but Lobster and Grits might be something saved for a special occasion.I expected to see more recipes in each category, but the recipes that were chosen are good and have the beginner to intermediate cook in mind.  The ingredients are all easily obtained at your local market, and some recipes contain notes from the writers regarding specific ingredients; suggesting variations and/or sharing information about an ingredient.I wish that there were photos for each recipe, but alas, no such luck!  There are a few photos though, and they are attractive and worthy of salivation.I would debate if these recipes would make everyone's 'best of the best' list, but maybe they are Good Eating's Best of the Best?  My suggestion would be that if the price is right, give it a try.  If not, check out the Chicago Tribune's 'Good Eating' section under 'Living'.  You'll probably find these recipes eventually, and a few not included in the book.
