Both inspiring and very useful [] the cooking techniques are easy, and ingredients can easily be found. I would highly recommend this book to absolutely anyone. lanaphillips on AmazonSimple, wholesome and tasty and cheap Getoka on AmazonI bought this book about 15 years ago. We were on a very tight budget and this is a book with plenty of good ideas for healthy and filling food using kitchen staples and no fancy delicatessen goods. We ate very well on its contents: lunches,dinners and afters and even snack foods. My son still makes the whole fruit cake whenever he can. C.
