I recieved A Modern Way to Eat from blogging for books a while ago. I will be honest. The cook book didn't inspire me to cook :( while the pictures where beautiful and the recipes sounded interesting, I found them to be overly complicated and just not conducive to our life style. That being said, if you don't have a large and busy family and love to spend lots of time in the kitchen, try tgese recieps out!
