The main this I love about this cookbook is how sloppy the food looks. I know that's weird, but somehow the pictures NOT being perfect made them look better. It looks more like something I could do, versus something that looks too fancy and hard to do. This book is accessible and I like the matrices for stir fries and smoothies. Not only do they give you specific recipes, they give you license to try and do your own thing. That's valuable for new/inexperienced cooks. I learned some things from this fun little book. Lushly illustrated, full of what I think of as "sound bites" even though they are text. Lots of delicious-looking recipes and plenty of interesting facts. Truth compels me to point out some inconsistencies- where one recipe states categorically "you wouldn't want high fructose corn syrup in your breakfast, would you?" another calls for a two liter bottle of Dr. Pepper.Still, a fun book.
This book was great. Alot of helpful information and great recipes that are easy to use.
