Good Guidance and Room for Experimentation submitted by Sara W on July 30, 2012, 10:27pm This is a fantastic cookbook. The author lays out a wide array of dishes, from appetizers to salads, to side dishes and main courses, and sets up a template for each recipe. She describes the dish and lists several proteins, grains, veggies, etc. that home cooks can choose to incorporate into their meal. Anderson also provides several of her recommended recipes - for those who aren't ready to branch off on their own yet, they can stick to her rules. But her main goal is provide a blueprint for cooks to follow to make a successful and nutritious meal.

I appreciate the level of guidance and explanation Anderson provides. She makes great suggestions about flavor and texture. I know the book is intended to give me confidence and knowledge so that I can branch off on my own with this dishes, but she has so many good suggestions and ideas, I'm considering buying this book to have on my own kitchen reference shelf.

Helpful submitted by mrajraspn08 on August 19, 2018, 3:05pm A great book, and one I've checked out a couple times. Includes very basic recipes and how to modify them in a myriad of different ways, great for those of us for whom cooking is a chore.

practical and delicious submitted by bec on August 17, 2019, 10:14am I was a little skeptical about a cookbook with a no-recipe premise (aren't recipes the point of cookbooks??), but I was totally wrong. This cookbook rocks. Anderson lays out foundational recipes and offers numerous creative and very doable variations- perfect for adding to your mental repertoire of meals to cook, yep, without a recipe. I especially liked the pies/quiches/pizza section, which gives me something to look forward to for fall/winter cooking.
