The beautiful photos really elevate this cookbook, which is full of fast shortcutty recipes. Recipes seem set on reproducing take out favorites and quickly preparing other original, flavourful meals. Often the flavour arrives on the back of salt, fat and breading, but, hey, the book never pretends to be a healthy eating cookbook. For example, 'Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Skillet'.

I think younger home cooks, especially those at college or starting out on their own, will love this book. Cheap, accessible ingredients include store-bought flour tortillas for making mini pizzas, packaged beef cocktail sausages (for bacon wrapped smokies), canned biscuit dough (parmesan twists), packaged cream cheese, and frozen / canned vegetables.

An overload of umami! The photographs are the best I have seen in a cookbook yet. You cannot help but smile from the overall bright tone and infectious cheerfulness of the book.
