Wonderful Cookbook

Love this cookbook. Alison Roman is a no nonsense cook who has great recipes. I love the little stories at the beginning of chapters or sections. She does an excellent job of explaining why she uses or doesn’t use certain ingredients. Recipes are easy to follow with ingredients I usually have on hand.
