I purchased this book a while ago and loved it!! It has so many helpful tips and tricks that I never would have thought of. I have since purchased about 6 more as gifts for friends and family and everyone loved them. I find myself reaching for this book a few times a month and I always find something new. I didn't find the information overwhelming as it was written in a way that was easy to understand and follow. This book would be great for someone just starting out on their own all the way to someone who has been cooking for years.
