Customer Reviews

Good college book!

This cookbook has humor, helpful tid bits, good recipes, and a good variety of recipes. It is worth the buy!

*Must read* when going off to college

I'm a freshman in college, and this book really made my first year cooking experiences easy and fun. I especially recommend the breakfast shakes (filling and delicious!), and if you're feeling extra adventurous, go for the meatballs. I made it for a group of friends, with a side of the mashed potatoes, and everyone was really impressed. Wash it all down with home-made chai tea (much better and cheaper than starbucks, believe me!), and you'll have a lot of people asking for seconds!

The Best Cookbook of All Time

What a delicious (ha!) book! Josh Lambert is an exceedingly talented writer who has truly harnessed the mysteries of cooking. Before I read his book, my friends and family chastised me for my inability to cook (I even earned the nickname "Bad Cook"!). Now I am a cooking whiz. With the delicacy of a fine Pinot Noir, Lambert has created a subtle yet useful cooking bible that will be appreciated by anyone who has been scared by the kitchen.

A great going-away-to-college gift!

I discovered this book by accident and read it out of curiosity. Now I've ordered copies for all the young people I know who are going to be living on their own this year for the first time. The humorous tone should go over well with the 20-something set. I think the book is an invaluable source of basic information about shopping and cooking for yourself -- I wish it had been available when I first moved out on my own twenty years ago!

A great grad gift

This book is a great find for anyone graduating from high school or college. It is must-have for the novice cook. It gives helpful information on what to stock in your kitchen, what will spoil, and how to put it all together in a meal to impress. It also features witty commentary on the side. Overall, it's an easy, entertaining and helpful read!
