Go back and buy that book. It's not basic and not over the top. It's
perfect for everyday cooking. Nothing pretentious and covers so much.
The sauces and condiments section alone is worth the 2 bucks. There's
a couple pages for salad dressings and the sandwich section will spur
your brain to all kinds of fun stuff. I thinned out my cookbooks a
few years and and kept all my Southern Living books. I love them and
they're not all that southern. It has a pesto recipe which is hardly
southern U.S.

I think I paid a buck or two for mine also.
