“Seems obvious to rec this classic and awks since she’s on RL, but this book changed how I think about food, troubleshoot/amend what I’m cooking and many recipes have become go-tos in our family. We have the slaw all the time and the buttermilk roasted chicken taught me that I can roast a chicken!”
