In each of Ms Wilder's recipes there is a part the is called 'The Wilder Method.' This method  shows you in a quick  and easy way to fix the recipe. I fixed the Creamy Potato-Pepper Soup following the 'wilder method' and believe me it was very easy, quick and good! 

Here are a few of the Recipes names  that sounded interesting... that are found in the book:
Rainbow Breakfast Soups, Honey Dew- Rock Melon Soup-Cool Cucumber mint Soup-Creamy
Herbal Walnut Soup-Super Quick Minestrone-Wild Rice Wild Mushrooms & Cheddar Soup-Spicy Tomato Sipping Soup-and Creamy Potato-Pepper Soup.  If any of these are of interest to you  please pickup the book and start cooking. These soups are a  season of soups  that are made simple, healthy

Review:

"Always You" by Shilpa Mudiganti was a good romance novel. The author works her magic in getting Lyla and Alexander Knight back together. I found this novel a very easy, quick and steamy read. "Always You" was truly a story of misunderstanding, mixed emotions, anger, betrayal, forgiveness and then their was love.

The story starts with Lyla trying to get on with her life after her heart had been broken five years ago by Alex. Lyla is now engaged to her fiance( Nick), is finishing this one last project in London before moving on with her new life in Spain.

However, as fate would have it Alex has come back in Lyla life(due to fact that they just happen to be working on a big project due to work) and now she must face things that she thought were over between her and Alex. Was she still in love with Alex? Would Lyla uncover Alex's true feelings for her that lies beneath the hatred that was created since she last saw him? There was a secret that was well kept. You will simply have to read this novel to find out what that was!

I found this novel was heartbreaking, loving, full of surprises and I found the details were amazing. I did enjoy the read and would definitely recommend it as a good quick romance novel.
