This book is less like a formal cookbook and more like a grandmother (who also happens to be a chef) guiding you through preparing wonderful food. Don't get me wrong, all the basics like ingredients lists, etc. are there, but included are extra touches that you don't usually expect; like lists of ingredients needed and explanations about some of the ingredients and tips. That being said, there are a ton of very appealing recipes in this book ... the first one that will be served at my house is the Vegetarian Cassoulet ... unless the Roasted Figs Stuffed with Feta Cheese gets to the table first.NOTE: I'm not a vegetarian, but often we eat meat-free meals and entertain vegetarians. So I've got nothing against vegetarians and I appreciate a book like this that offers vegetarian options in a way that doesn't alienate me as a meat-eater.
