I bought this cookbook for my sister who is definately not a cook. She's diabetic and paralysed down one side so her ability in the kitchen is very limited but she said she wanted a cook book for one and I liked the look of this one so I bought it. I was devastated when it arrived as the meals were so complicated. I mean lobster? Are you kidding me? I had no choice but to give it to her, I didn't have time to change it, but to my surprise she loved it. She said it was the most beautiful cookbook she'd ever had and that it inspired her to want to cook more delicious meals. I also gave her a practical diabetic cookbook but I think this one seemed more like a luxury to her and it made her feel that just because she was only cooking for one, it didn't mean she couldn't have a special meal. At the end of each recipe there's a suggestion for a left-over meal that is very quick and simple so I think my sister will probably just use those recipes. Then again, this could be the start of something big!

The book came before I was expecting it, it was in good condition, and it's a really good book. A pleasure to read and really useful for the person who loves to cook something and then use the left-overs to make an even better meal.
