Cook as You Are by Ruby Tandoh
Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
I was initially skeptical of the book since the author specifically did not include photos. The one major lesson learned from running a cookbook club is that cooks love pictures with their recipes. However, this book is so brilliantly and concisely written that you don't miss the pictures. The occasional hand drawn illustration among recipes and comforting narrative are plenty to keep a cook engaged. The recipes themselves are delicious and approachable. The ingredients are obtainable through most grocery stores and the techniques/equipment are accessible to most and look amazing. I made the Pretzel Sandwich Loaf as a test bake and it was easy, delicious and looks very impressive! While this cookbook would be enjoyed by all skill levels, this would make a great “first cookbook” for those venturing into the world of cooking while juggling adult-life.

I like pictures in my cookbooks, but I never seem to get my dish looking like the picture anyway! Nice review!
