I like this cookbook as it has some basic recipes that are easy enough for beginners yet interesting enough for intermediate foodies.  Soups like Cilantro Carrot Soup and Fennel Lobster Soup, won't be used frequently, but Hearty Vegetable Soup definitely will!I wish the book had been sectioned in such a way that soups were in one area and salads in another.  The Table of Contents has them listed alphabetically and thrown together (soups and salads). You might get three soup recipes and then a salad thrown in. Just a little thing, but it was distracting to me when I was scanning through the pages to look at recipes.I also miss having photos and/or a brief description of the recipe under the title of each one.  Some Kindle cookbooks have these and I think it adds a lot, but this one omited both, which was disappointing.The nice part about the recipes in this cookbook is that they are all small enough for 2 to 4 people.  You won't have a vat of leftovers!  Of course you could double the recipes for that purpose though.There are some interesting recipes in this book that will appeal to your adventurous side, and require some pricey ingredients like lobster.  There's also some inexpensive, tasty standards like a Taco Salad recipe that are super quick, easy and would be a hit with the kids.
