Clear instructions with delicious results submitted by debacker on July 30, 2021, 3:49pm This cookbook includes a collection of recipes with instructions that are clear and easy to follow, ingredients that you most likely have in your kitchen or are easy to find at the supermarket, and has delicious results. It is encouraging for beginners in the kitchen. I liked that the author also included ideas for changing the recipe with simple ingredient swaps.
