I really love this book, and I'm always amazed by how Isa can make really basic foods taste sooo good with such a perfect texture and flavor. This is my favorite cookbook to whip out if I want to make something particularly fancy or special. That said, many of these recipes take hours -- sometimes days -- of prep time. I remember cooking for a potluck and having it take nearly 2 hours (and I was fortunate to have had a fully stocked spice rack and fresh veggies already in my fridge!). Some of the recipes are shorter and easier to use for quick-cooking. That said, I've found that I just pick my favorite recipes and try to do my prep 1-2 days in advance. As the sole cook/eater in my apartment, though, this means quartering and halving recipes so that the (very fresh) ingredients don't go bad over a few days worth of cooking.
All that said, this cook book is delightful, and it's hard to turn the pages without drooling.
