My Review:

As a Crown Food and Drink Influencer, I am offered a selection of cookbooks each month for review. I can narrow down to ones I think I will like from the offered choices but, as with any books offered for review, that doesn't necessarily ensure I'll love the ones I choose. I think this book missed the mark with me because of its extreme simplicity--which may be what makes someone else love it. I was drawn to the idea of making some vegetarian fall and winter recipes but most of these were barely complex enough to be called recipes. Personally, I am looking for twists on established recipes, new ideas, and a bit more inspiration from my cookbooks.  

I made "Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Cream" from page 108 and of course they were delicious. All of the recipes look delicious and I think this book would be a great option for a beginning cook.
