As a student, time (and money) is a scarce resource, so when I was given this book for my birthday I was somewhat skeptical. Reading through the recipes, however, I see just how dead easy they all are. The instructions are clear and well laid out, and you don't need to go on a long quest to find the right ingredients.
It's also chock full of recipes for every occasion, from good breakfast foods, to cocktails, to big dinner meals, to mouth-watering desserts.
My current favourite recipe from this book is “Mirin Glazed Salmon”, because you can substitute almost any meat you like if salmon is too expensive, and it's a versatile recipe.
