The Home Cook by Alex Guarnaschelli

I love watching Alex Guarnaschelli as a judge on Chopped or cooking as an Iron Chef. But, this cookbook is not geared toward professional chefs, it's geared toward The Home Cook, hence the title. It's broken down like a traditional cookbook by type of food - appetizer, soup, main dishes, etc. Almost everything seems really easy to make and nothing has a huge list of ingredients. Many of the dishes could be pulled together with things you already have in your pantry. There are definitely some recipes I'd like to try. Guarnaschelli hopes that this will be one of your go-to cookbooks that you pull out on a regular basis. This is definitely a cookbook worth checking out.
