"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!

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! Sincerely, Pork Chop Mama from Florida.

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.

I love to cook, and do it well, and I am more than willing to cook something yummy for people I care for, but this book still came in handy for me, because what I use this book for is as a weight management tool. After reading some of the real but revolting recipes in this book, I definitely lost the urge to snack, therefore assuring that I did not exceed my Weight Watchers POINTS allotment for the day!

I saw the author on The Donny and Marie Show and couldn't stop laughing. The recipes are wild and wacky--and yucky! Perfect for a gag gift or to get your husband to take you out for dinner (trust me on this).
