There is nothing overly complicated in the book – it would make an excellent addition to a beginner’s library with recipes for basics like guacamole, simple bruschetta, easy main dishes and of course some delightful desserts.
All along the way Mary offers her sage advice on ways to prepare ahead and to make the recipe prep as easy as possible. There are rather extensive sections at the beginning with pantry suggestions, meal plans utilizing the recipes in the book and freezer planning.

The recipes are offered in both British and American weights and measures so there are no worries about having to “translate” between grams and ounces and the like.
