You'll love it. I got it on ILL but probably have to buy it. It's like - okay so how do I cook all this gorgeous, delectable, fresh, local food? She tells you.
It's full of French and Italian cooking tradition mixed with a hefty dose of Slow Food/Berkeley culture.
For me, dh has made most of our food. It's been great - he is a rockin' chef. But he has some sort of complex about vegetable dishes and baking, so those have always been my roles. Since I'm home, I also figured making things like soups and stews during the week should become my realm (because coming home at 4 and starting soup means the kids are asleep before it's ready!). One of the benefits of working from home.
Speaking of which...I'm back to work. Anyway it's a good book to get on ILL in case you already know how to make all the stuff in it (but dh has been cooking for 15 years and still learned a few things from it already) or if it's not to your family's preferences. For us, it's become a staple right alongside
Feeding The Whole Family by Cynthia Lair (much more vegetarian-friendly and -focused).
