L. Glick - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Little Black Apron: A Single Girl's Guide to Cooking with Style and Grace (Paperback)

I had heard the buzz about this book so I figured I'd buy it...hey, I thought, the cover is definitely appealing and if I follow just one of its recipes than that would be worth the $$. Well, I opened the first page and couldn't stop reading the witty descriptions of kitchen necessities and was amazed at how much I related to these authors. The recipes are simple (with many of them you only need a few ingredients)and they're pretty quick. I, the takout queen, made a roasted chicken last night! I have to say, I amazed myself and am looking forward to testing out the other recipes. Definitely purchase this book... you won't be disappointed!

This review is from: The Little Black Apron: A Single Girl's Guide to Cooking with Style and Grace (Paperback)

What a relief to find a cook book catered to girls like me - those who don't venture further than boiling water for pasta or scrambling eggs! The authors of this book have created a smart, informative, and funny guide for the young modern woman ready to confront her fears of the kitchen. Buy your copy now - you will LOVE it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!, April 25, 2008

laughtercrystal (Honolulu, Hi) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Little Black Apron: A Single Girl's Guide to Cooking with Style and Grace (Paperback)

I learned alot from this book. There was way more information on nutrition that I expected, and it inspired me to start eating much healthier. It's helpful to read about the cold, hard numbers of the nutritional facts. The recipes are super easy, too! I have made four or five of them already, and they are very easy to make, easy to alter, and easy to improvise with. This book has many very helpful tips. I highly recommend it for any girl living on her own.
