"When I Cook, They Run" touches all the bases of miserable meal making. Written tongue-in-cheek (so she can't taste the food), Karen Kallet is the "Contrarian Cooking Gourmet Goddess." Taste(less) tested recipes with hefty helpings of humor. . . this book hits a hilarious homerun!

5.0 out of 5 stars a very funny read, September 16, 1999

This review is from: When I Cook, They Run: The Art of Miserable Meal Making : Recipes and Advice That Will Have Them Running from Your Table! (Paperback)

As a disheartened cook myself, I feel I've found a kindred spirit in the creator of this Anti- Cook Book. What I have botched accidentally for years has proven to make an excellent spoof. I even tried 2 recipes, but no one noticed the difference. My favorite is the 3-unorthodox beans in the 3 bean salad. That is really using the old barbecued noodle to come up with that one!

It was very funny and I enjoyed the recipes. Just reading them was funny. Trying them was even better. The advice was right on. Just a fun book. I bought a few more as gifts, they thought it was soooo funny.
