Cooking to Impress Without Stress Paperback – 1 Sep 2003

I have 2 cookbooks by Annabel Langbein (the other one is "Savour of the Pacific: a discovery of taste") and both belong to my favourites. This is a very good book for the amateur cook who would like to make unforgettable but doable meals. Langbein's no-nonsense approach really helps here: the recipes are creative and delicious yet easy to make. There is also a section with proposed menus that describe very well what you can make when ahead. The recipes are very varied in style, there should always be some that correspond to your mood. Of note are Annabel's excellent salad dressings.
