review 1: From the intro I clicked with Joe Yonan's outlook on food and cooking ("recipes are just a guideline"). I love the way he approaches cooking and food. I've tried several of his recipes (more or less) and enjoyed them. I too like to cook a pot of grains or a pan of veggies say, and see how many different meals I can do with it. I enjoyed his articles throughout. Yonan follows a basic vegetarian diet while I now follow a vegan diet, but it was quite easy to adapt many of his ideas. I love this book. The photos and layout of the text were also a plus. It's a great addition to my personal library.
review 2: I loved the concept of this book--that the single person shouldn't settle for second-best in the food department. And I love his emphasis on fresh ingre... moredients and planning quality meals for oneself.However, unlike many recipes books that I borrow from the library, I don't have the urge to copy even one of them. Hence only 3 stars. The use of many ingredients that are unfamiliar to me put me off a bit. Plus I can tell the author has professional chef training (and I confirmed that by reading the author blurb at the end). What he considered to be easy and casual was often a bit complex for me at the end of a work day.That said, I do enjoy cooking and eating good food. And I do seem to be heading towards vegetarianism slowly, so I definitely appreciated Yonan's perspectives on these subjects. It was a case of enjoying his writing without necessarily wanting to use his recipes. less
