Cooking can be intimidating to some of us, and if you are one of the millions of people who doubt your abilities in the kitchen, then you have picked the right book. This book contains simple recipes that yield outstanding results. This book is number one in the beginning of a series of several cookbooks I plan to write. Each book will include few enough recipes that you should be able to make most of them in the course of a month, or if you prefer, you can make them throughout the year. Either way, your guests and/or family will never forget the amazing dishes you have created. All of the recipes in this book have been designed with the home cook in mind. All of the ingredients in these recipes are common and can be easily found at your local supermarket. The preparation of the ingredients requires only a basic knowledge of kitchen equipment and measurement. In addition, methods of preparation in this book range from beginner to intermediate.
