Review by: mario lanza on Dec. 30, 2011 :
I have been cooking at home and professionally for almost 30 years. Planet Kitchen Table has been a refreshing and fun cook book to use, easy to read with sufficient details so that recipes are simple to follow. I especially like how the book is set up, with planning and definitions up front followed by a vast variety of carefully explained dishes. Many classic dishes like artichokes and new dishes too. It reminds me of "the joy of cooking" but with a modern twist using newer, local and organic ingredients. You can tell that the author has been around a kitchen and knows how to explain entertaining too.
