30 Minute Italian (CL)

For someone who didn't know how the first thing about cooking before, I think I've done amazingly well in that department, with the help of Fran Warde's "30 Minute Cooking: Italian." I was inititally drawn to this wonderful book for its print quality-large font (easy-to-follow while I cook), bright colors, lots of photographs. The recipes call for ingredients that are easy to find at any supermarket. Directions are really simple to follow. I started off with simple pasta, then moved on to risotto, minestrone, and dessert, all in the same week. With all honesty, if I could make delicious meals, following the recipes in this fantastic publication, so can anyone!
