I tried a four recipes out of this book and they turned out awesome. All the meals my wife exclaimed were better than recent outings to some of the local restaurants.Tyler makes things easy and the Ingredients are most things out of an oridinary kitchen. You don't have to go to some exotic grocer to prepare one of his great dishes.Tyler is a genious, as most of his recipes are different takes on recipes that have been around forever. He puts his own sense into the proportions of ingredents and VIOLA! you have an amazing tasting dish that is much better than some of the old recipes you use to cook over and over again.
