By Eliot, on August 13th, 2024%

Back to the “Best of 2024” cookbook reviews. Cooking in Real Life is truly the best of the best.

This is an unsolicited book review. I bought this book for a gift just because I knew the recipient liked cookbooks and liked quick and easy dinners. I also love cookbooks and quick and easy meals so I read the book before I gifted it.
