This book is seriously mis-advertised: it is for people who have never seen a kitchen, much less cooked in one. A recipe for pancakes actually tells you to buy already-mixed pancake batter. Gee, I wish -I'd- thought of that! Also, the author should check her facts: one cup of instant rice does not yield one cup of cooked rice when you follow package directions. It yields one and a half. There were a very few recipes that I had never thought of that I'll try, but I could have done the same with convenience foods. If you know what your microwave looks like, you're much better off with Desperation Dinners, which is excellent, and it doesn't insult your intelligence.

I tried the Spicy Burrito Filling and the entire family thought that I was a wonder. I actually served it over rice and WOW! Very easy. Very good!

This unique book is a goldmine served with a dash of humor. From Main Courses to Desserts, these 2-ingredient recipes sent me rushing to the kitchen. (And I HATE to cook!) A valuable treasure for saving time, energy and money while preparing tasty morsels for one or twenty. Makes a great inexpensive gift for families, students, and singles.

I had never cooked before so this was the PERFECT book for me! The recipes are for simple, quick, normal food--nothing fancy. Keep in mind that this is seriously for people who have never cooked. Before this book, I had no idea how to even make a baked potato. This book gives you those step by step instructions for the recipes that most people already know...for example, what sides are commonly used with dip and how to make pasta. It's easy to follow and you can really make some fulfulling meals--even with just two ingredients!

I've had this cookbook for a year, and it has served me well. Not for actual meals, but it's been great for those times when I was feeling hungry for something sweet, salty, crunchy, etc. that took, like, NO time to make.

These recipes are no-brainers that produce surprisingly tasty results. I brought this book to Amsterdam when we went on vacation, and after a quick trip to the local supermarket, the four of us enjoyed quick, easy, delicious snacks and lite meals for the duration of our stay. A *fantastic* traveler resource, and a fine book to have for those times when you feel like eating, but not cooking.
