What could be nicer for newlyweds than to sit down to a lovely meal they made together? Not On Love Alone makes it easy. It is a cookbook for newlyweds, organized chronologically around the first year of marriage. Starting in January, each month has a main dinner menu that is based on seasonal ingredients, and a smaller menu, ranging from breakfast to lunch to drinks or dessert, for when a full menu is too much to tackle. There are also dozens of cooking tips, ingredient notes, shopping aids, and equipment pointers sprinkled throughout, accompanied by the author's own charming drawings. Having learned to cook as a young girl at her food-lover father's side, Jessie Carry Saunders writes with a tone that is both surefooted and casual. So, break out that new Cuisinart! Saunders is determined to persuade every newly married couple that they can cook, and — with her mix of delicious recipes and cooking tips — to encourage one and all that they can be relaxed about making great meals.
