Yes. The book is laid out well and so are the recipes. It is a soft
cover, decent page size, not to heavy to be useful. It opens and lies
flat (a big plus) No exotic ingredients. A picture for every recipe.
A reason why the recipe works. And just like the show, everything is
in plain language. I'm enjoying it. Truthfully, I've had the book
about two weeks and I keep changing my mind about what I'm going to
try first. Right now it is bed-time reading.

eight seasons)
