A very useful and accessible cookbook that's organized according to menus for different occasions. Main dishes, sides, salads and desserts are assembled as part of a bigger menu, with instructions on how to plan ahead and sequence preparation. Instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the book is well-indexed. Photos are nice but not plentiful; unlike some cookbooks whose primary focus is aesthetic and aspirational, Monaghan is more focused on the how-tos. Many of the recipes are intensely flavored, so plan accordingly. Recommended.
