Customer Reviews

Highly recommended for night owls

This is a nice little gem of a book. It's got a witty, breezy style, a pleasant, easy-to-follow format, and of course, some great recipes. I especially liked the theme of snack quantities aimed for one or two people that could easily be scaled up as needed. I found this book as a "remaindered" item, but after using it for several months, I would say it is easily worth the cover price.

Interesting and creative recipes.

I like this book for the mostly small quantity snacks. Other books that offer recipes for snacks are meant for 4 people or more. This little gem literally has recipes for 1 or two people. The recipes are healthy and uses ingredients that most people have in their pantry. Most of the recipes take about 15 minutes to make. This is definitely a book for the Foodie. It is a good read and filled with humor.

the official handbook for all species of night owl

It's funny to realize that there were really no cookbooks for this "meal" that everyone enjoys. So I got this book, and there was everything from dishes to serve the kids' friends at slumber parties to great recipes for making those too expensive power bars that are perfect for breakfast. I particularly like using this book's recipes for my cocktail parties (I first saw it reviewed in Playboy of all places, because they loved the sexy dishes for two that are featured in the book), since the whole idea behind this guide is simple, appealing, small treats that you can cook up without a lot of fuss. It emphasized improvization. Stocking a few key items (even some new ones that are very versatile). And having fun with this quirky, miniature meal. And the writing is just as fun-loving. Very witty, and the perfect gift for college kids, newlyweds, or anyone looking to expand their repertoire of casual, satisfying bites.
