this
letter to inform you that two weeks ago, I borrowed a book so I can use it as a reference for my essay assignment. I was supposed to return it three days ago, but it slipped my mind. The name of the book is "How to cook everything" by Matt Bittman, and all I can say is that the author was a brilliant fellow. We had a cooking class
this
semester and, for some reason, I became fond of cooking. I want to learn how to cook different cuisine so I keep coming back to the library to borrow all kinds of

try to follow the instructions written there. There are all kinds of food written in that book, and I wanted to try all of them.
