Lauren Allen is a popular blogger, and she has published a cookbook using recipes from her excellent website, Tastes Better From Scratch Cookbook: Easy Recipes for Everyday Life. Just like her website, this cookbook is excellent, and includes dozens of recipes that real people will want to actually make. She is right, when she makes the point that food made from scratch is better, and when the emphasis is on the fact that most of these recipes are easy, it is even better.

The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed followed by step-by-step instructions to make it easy to follow for both beginning and advanced cooks. Most of the recipes have minimal ingredients that are easy to find, and are easy to put together.

The recipes, which include appetizers, breads, main dishes, salads, soups, and desserts, have flavors borrowed from several countries including Japan, China, Mexico, and the Middle East. Most of the recipes will appeal to most people because they are down-to-earth, and include some recipes that have been made by cooks everywhere for decades.

One thing that is good about this cookbook is that there is a beautiful, professional photograph of almost every recipe, which is absolutely necessary for a five-star cookbook which this is.
All told, you can’t go wrong with this cookbook. There are dozens of recipes that will appeal to almost everyone, and picky eaters will find things that even they will enjoy.
