Notes from Chef James: Easy to read, excellent recipe layout, and very good photograpy. The full page photos of each recipe in the book are of simple, but very appealing presentations that no one should have any problem duplicating. Be sure to try the Sweet Potato Curry and the Shrimp with Garlic and Chili!
