I just finished reading an Advanced reader's copy of The Amateur Gourmet: How to Shop, Chop, and Table Hop Like a Pro (Almost)
The author runs the Amateur Gourmet blog and the writing does reflect that blog style of writing. . .quick, witty, and occasionally without substance but that is okay because the flaws in the book are outweighed with the positives. I would recommend this book to anyone who is just getting into the whole cooking and creating better food life (like me). There is a lot in there that is relatable but it would have been better without some of the overblown food descriptions.
