I have seen Sam the Cooking Guy's television show in the San Diego area, so I immediately became a fan. The book is more of the same useful advice and recipes delivered in a friendly, easy to understand manner. The recipes in general are simple as far as ingredients and process, but still provide flavorful results. I would definitely recommend this book to a novice cook or someone that is intimidated by the kitchen.
I always appreciated what others could do in the kitchen (meaning eating the final product!) but I wasn't big on creating anything. That is until I started watching Sam's show which enticed me to purchase Sam's book. I love it! I've made several recipes and I'm always looking for more. Everyone is great. The kids love it and my wife totally appreciates my new-found interest in cooking. Thanks Sam!
I bought three of these cookbooks after getting some of Sam's recipes off the internet - one for myself and two for gifts. I read a lot of cookbooks and this is one of my favorites, the recipes are excellent and easy. I'd highly recommend it for both beginners as well as great cooks!
