The author Michael Luhrmann has rich experience and the content in the book is simplified and very practical. Just like the "Illustrated Cooking Book" I have read before, this book is also a good helper for novices in the kitchen. I think the author is not only a gourmet, but also an excellent teacher who can make readers master cooking skills easily. I can't wait to try the recipes in the book!
