5.0 out of 5 stars This book has changed the way I eat and think., March 10, 1999

This review is from: No More Mac and Cheese: A Bachelor's Guide to Cooking with Ease (Spiral-bound)

As a bachelor with limited cooking skills, I have purchased numerous self-help books over the years. Finally, I have found a book that makes cooking easy and fun. There are numerous recipes which have turned out great, including Hamburger Stroganoff. By following the step-by-step instructions I am able to eat a fun and nutritious meal every night. My girlfriend now thinks that I am a wiz in the kitchen. In that way, it has really changed my life. I look forward to coming every night to cook, instead of going out for a drink with Bobby Clark. I feel healthier. I have also developed a new hobby to go along with bowling and fishing. The only downide to the book, I would say, are the drawings, which tend to distract the reader from the tremendous content. If you are only going to have one book about cooking, and don't want to spend more than $5, this is the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but less book than I thought..., April 13, 2010

Like the title of this review says, it's a interesting read - but it really is LESS book than I expected. It was bound by plastic spirals - like a notebook.

The read itself was easy, information presented was simple and to the point, and there was a bit of humor.

While I did not need this book for myself, as it was a gift to my brother who eats nothing but ramen noodles, information presented was pretty solid advice for a beginning cooker.

So, I'd recommend this book for a new college student or someone else starting out on their own for the first time - especially if mom and dad didn't teach him/her how to do the basics in a kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lifeline for the cuisinally challenged!!!, April 13, 1999

With a lighthearted touch, Will Marks translates cooking complexitites into functional dishes for the everyday postcollege man. Readers will marvel at the simple elegance of Mr. Marks' menu, and wonder out loud why he would forsake his kitchen brilliance for the banality of Wall Street.
