Book Reviews of Saving Dinner Basics: How to Cook Even If You Don't Know How
Book Review: A Treasure in the Kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
You can never know too much. Although I considered myself a pretty good cook, I found Leanne's tips for improving the quality of home dining priceless. This book includes recipes, and nifty tips, as well as the Dinner Diva's opinions on trussing a roasted chicken, plus a list of essential tools for the kitchen,(useful and simple,not gadgets.) I thought I wouldn't need a book like this, but chose to buy it simply to round out my Saving Dinner collection. I was delightfully surprised to find out how useful it is to after all. I learned I don't have to aspire to be Julia Child to turn out a great meal and would recommend to anyone struggling with perfectionism and or wishing to learn exactly how to simplify.
