My Opinion:
Another hit in my home!
This book is fantastic! It has recipes in it, but this book gets very detailed in the food aspect. Showing cuts of meat and proper ways to do things.
For amateur cooks this would be a great starting book.
I look forward to trying more from this book.
5/5

~I received a copy from DK Canada. I was not compensated for my opinion.~
The broccoli looks delicious. This sounds like a great reference book for any cook.
