Do you like photos of food? Well this book won't let you down... Food raw, in preparation & the finished product...

Many are appetizing some are not... Pot roast, Osso Bucco, & Beef Bourguignonne, remind me of beef stew and that is not attractive nor appetizing to me....

The recipes are long and involved, who knew it took so many steps to prepare meat? At least t he photos show you what you are suppose to be doing....
