Cooking Without Recipes: A Guide for the Home Cook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500742355)

This cookbook was originally written as a wedding gift for the author's daughter. Requests for more books led to the creation of this book for public sale. Author Sandi Horton writes, "It is difficult to condense decades of cooking experience into one book. Organizing cooking ideas, giving suggestions and sharing methods is an overwhelming project." "I'm attempting to share my cooking discoveries to encourage others to develop their own style of cooking. It is not an easy task to limit this book to 100 pages describing the basics of creating delicious food." "Cooking is an art. It is an expression of individual taste both in food choices, combinations of different foods, and the presentation of the dishes. I like to create unique meals every day."
