Customer Reviews

Perfect for time pressed singles

This is a great cookbook for singles who are pressed for time. I also like the fact that the recipes feature easy to find ingredients (if you don't have a lot of time to cook, you probably don't have much time to scour specialty markets either). My favorites are the recipes for sausage/lentil soup and ground beef mix. The only reason that I am not giving this five stars is the lack of color photos. Otherwise, it's a great book.

Not a bad cook book!

This is a pretty good cookbook if you are living in an apartment with a small kitchen and need to prepare for small meals. It covers simple dishes and the receipes are well written. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the illustration of the book is a bit poor (ie. no color pictures) inside.

A most useful cookbook

Okay, it's not gourmet cooking. It is an everyday lifesaver for those of us who run out of ideas when cooking for oneself. A pleasant meal every day without strain. I've given two as gifts, one to an older person newly alone, and one to a late-teener just going out on his own.

Okay for beginners

This book introduces some pretty basic recipes with common ingredients. Since I'm a college student living on my own, these simple recipes are a welcome respite from the usual "open the can and pop it in the microwave" mentality. Also it is much easier to find a tasty dish since this book is shorter than, say, Joy of Cooking. Still there are many larger and more comprehsive books out there that one can turn into a cooking-for-one book through simple division.
