The photography in this cookbook alone makes it worth the shelf space, and the binding lies flat so I can actually cook from it without wrestling pages down. I've already flagged a dozen recipes that feel fresh but approachable for a weeknight.

Bought this for my sister who's just getting into cooking, and now I'm jealous I didn't grab two. The recipe layout is clean and easy to follow, and the food-and-drink focus means there's something for every mood, not just dinner.

The technique sections actually taught me things I didn't know, which is rare for a cookbook these days. The photos are beautiful and the recipes are laid out clearly enough to follow while my hands are covered in flour.
