It's a beautifully illustrated book but the recipes didn't speak to me.
She lost me at microwaving bacon. That belongs in a food hacks video not a cookbook. (I guess I am bacon traditionalist and didn't even know it)

Given I'm neither a starving artist nor a first time cook, this book was enjoyable more for the personal story behind particular recipes than actually teaching me any particular skills. I picked it up from my local library thinking it might provide some interesting recipes to share via my food blog, but it was not to be.

For those with minimal skill in the kitchen it would be a handy guide.
