Industry Reviews "He starts with really simple recipes and suggests creative variations that only require, as he says, minimal effort. If the recipes are simple it's because they work that way, not because he's taking short cuts....It's a good book, one you could use for months without getting bored....The writing is as clear as the recipes, a talent that's less common than you'd think. What shines through is Bittman's belief that cooking is an activity that's both enjoyable and worth mastering." Epicurious - Irene Sax (05/12/2000)
"All his recipes offer a range of easygoing variations, and this autiauthoritarian congeniality allows you to make a tasty meal that accords with what you feel like and what you've got on hand....[M]ost of Bittman's food is rooted in tradition, good sense and good taste." New York Times Book Review - Thomas McNamee (06/04/2000)
