My Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩

I only got through two recipes before my teens ran off to peruse the food! Once I reclaimed custody of the book, I was equally excited. Just as advertised this book contains tons of recipes that would absolutely stand on their own, but have the added bonus of being fan favorites from restaurants across the country.

Having run a cookbook club, and thus having heard all the critiques of recipes you can imagine, I know a cookbook will be a hit when it has the following:

1. Pictures- Gotta have those food pics. This book is a treat for they eyes as well as your plate.
2. Easy to follow instructions- The recipes here are concise and clearly written.
3. Accessible ingredients, tools and techniques- These recipes use readily available ingredients alongside approachable techniques and tools you likely have in your kitchen already.

All together these make for recipes that you can dive right into and start enjoying. Several are already on my meal plan for next week.

This reader notes: We have to cook gluten-free for our celiac child and many recipes are already gluten-friendly or easily modified for our dietary restrictions. Not to be all "I substituted dryer lint for the salt and it was fine" (you know the recipe comments can be bananas!), but this still a five-star cookbook even if you need to do some swaps for your lifestyle.
