5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, December 19, 2008
By Veggie Girl (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
I bought this book on-line (obviously) without ever actually getting to look through all the pages. I'm a pretty experience cook, but my brother--who got this book as a gift--isn't. He recently moved into his first apartment, and was calling me with questions like: 'How do I cook corn?' or 'How long can I keep food in my fridge before it goes bad?' I was more then happy to answer these questions, but thought that he'd really appreciate a book that had all these answers.

This book is wonderful! It has a chart in back that tells you how long you can keep food before it goes bad. It explains about what tools are useful to have around your kitchen. And it also has simple recipes (most have 5 ingredients or less). So, it's prefect for someone who just wants a foundation.

My brother will never aspire to be a great chef, or enjoy cooking and baking like I do, but he really appreciates being able to make simple meals. And to know the basics of things.

Great book!
