I bought my first copy at Disney World as a gift to my older daughter. When I had time to actually look through the book, I noticed how easy the recipes looked. My daughters and I do like to cook, but I do not cook complicated recipes. The few recipes I have tried lived up to my initial impression. I have since bought two more copies. One copy I gave to a friend who was interested in French cooking then I had to order another copy for me. The price of the book is also very reasonable. I love this cookbook!
