MY THOUGHTS
I am not big on cooking. I mean I get by with basic cooking but I usually stick to stuff I already know how to make and that is simple so I usually find cookbooks a little daunting. Needless to say, I was a little hesitant about The Royal Chef at Home but I am happy to tell you that most of the recipes are ones I know I can make and I do have a few I can't wait to try.
This book is done with a relaxing combination of talking and cooking.
I like that most of the recipes are things most people who are not chefs can make the recipes at home and that the recipes are easy to understand.
I do highly recommend this book and I think it would make a great gift for those who love cooking.
I give this 5 out of 5
