I am a youngish, foody-ish sort with a moderate appetite and a tiring job. This book fits perfectly with each of these qualities. This book is very useful indeed.
I am always on the lookout for books without unnecessary frills; as it's often that the those I buy contain "julienne of roasted winter squash on a bed of wilted rocket" style fare along side the more appealing, more straightforward recipies.
Not here. Each appetizing recipe is approachable and uncomplicated. Just One Pot would definately appeal to folk that enjoy cooking but find it hard to remain kitchen-motivated after a typical working day. It would also be a great "first" cookbook for those who aspire to cook more but are intimidated by intricate recipies and complex methods.
Contained are also plenty of small serving recipies; which I'm sure would appeal to otehrs like me who haven't got a family of six to feed. I am often put off by the thought of creating mammoth quantities of grub, the majority of which will go off before it's eaten.
There are few books I have found that are this consistent and accessible, a worthy utility if ever there was one.
