Although I've just suggested this is a primer, it has a wide variety of recipes at different levels of difficulty, so it won't lose it's value to cooks as they become more experienced. This is my second copy, since I literally wore the covers off the first one I bought. It's a great reference for finding recipes that are more amenable to the western palate, and it demonstrates techniques for presentation that aren't commonly found on the American dinner table. This book will give you a great foundational knowledge, and keep you coming back for more. Emceemk says check it out.
