Pret A Manger: Fresh & Healthy Ready-to-Eat Meals for Busy Lifestyles - Perfect for Office Lunches, Travel & On-the-Go Snacking

I Love cookbooks. I often hear the argument, why buy cookbooks when you can find the recipes online.Well, go try Googling or Binging a recipe, & what will come up is tons of different recipes for the same dish.How to choose, who can you trust? I confess I spent a lot of time at the library as a child. In retrospect, I now see it was my aunt's way of not having to hire a babysitter. However, I did learn about the special part of the library called the "Reference Section", and that's where all the good stuff always was. I have over the past few years built my own reference section of cooking books. I am extraordinarily pleased to add Pret DIY to my library, especially as it's so hard to get now. It's an excellent book; can be adapted easily to your taste & is great for ideas. Oddly, Pret has not made it to the west coast, so I think people out west may appreciate it even more. Pret as a company is such a simple idea, but they execute it so well it should be admired by other companies for being such a great corporate business model. It is one of the few companies where the employees seem like they genuinely like their jobs. When you put out good, you are just good. If you can find this book, I would buy it post-haste. I have actually made quite a few of the recipes, and the results are perfectly delicious!
