Got some ideas
I consider a cookbook to be of value to me if I find a few recipes to copy. And if those recipes turn out to be as good as they sound, that is another plus.

Well, I found a few to copy from this cookbook but some that I have tried so far have been much more time-consuming than the author implied, and not all that great considering the time I invested. One recipe that sounded really good was Potato Ribbons. I should have known that this was not a quick recipe when it said to prepare the potatoes by slicing them into thin ribbons with the potato peeler. This took forever!

The Salmon with Mustard was very good as were the Vegetables in Lemon Vinaigrette, and the recipes were very straighforward and not too time-consuming.

I am looking forward to making two of the soups: Lentil with Sausage and the Spinach Soup, and also the Lime and Herb Dip which sounds yummy.
