From the Introduction:

This book has been written for the many people who are new to cooking, and yet who want to produce intresting and nutritions meals with the minimum of time and expense. I wanted this to be an exciting as well as instructive book, and so you will find quite colourful and special recipes in it, for I have found that if you know the right way to do it, it is no more difficult to make a luscious dish than a rather plain 'humdrum' recipe.
