Rachael Ray's Look + Cook

"Inexperienced cooks need more that just a few lines of laconic test to help them along. Rachael Ray has coached a generation of rookies on her Food Network shows, talking and plopping and emoting her way through dish after dish. Her latest books, Rachael Ray's Look + Cook, shows what each stage should look like in big photos. Betty Crocker, or more specifically, the 1976 edition of Betty Crocker's Cookbook, used to be my bulletproof go-to recipe source. But now Ray fills that role." -- Time magazine
