Delicious by Design: 30 Years, 30 Recipes. This item is unavailable.Delicious by Design: 30 Years, 30 Recipes

Some cookbooks have lots of recipes, but you only like a few. Delicious by Design, on the other hand, only has 30 main dishes (and another 15 sides), but we guarantee that you will love them all. These aren't just any recipes, but represent 30 years of adventurous home cooking. There are no fussy techniques, no foams, no obscure ingredients, no fancy tools. There is honest flavor here; each dish designed to surprise and comfort and remind you of why the best cooking is just like great design it inspires the artist in all of us to wonder, Why didn't I think of that?
