Excellent! I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend after hearing Noah on AIA (longtime fan of both!). The photos are gorgeous, ingredient lists not overwhelming, and instructions clear. It is an accessible cookbook for real people who want to eat tasty, healthy food while learning about how to do the basics. 10/10!
