Summary: Exellent book for clueless cooks
Review: I love this book! I'm in college, and although I consider myself to be an experienced cook, this book rocks! Peltosaari has included tips for food storage, using leftovers, shelf life, and cooking terms in addition to the many easy recipes. All of the recipes are economical, nutritious, and delicious. If you don't even know how to make scrambled eggs, or if you're on a tight budget (like me!) then this is the book for you!

Review: This is a fantastic book; I've had it for many years and I use it all the time. The author makes simple recipes out of totally ordinary ingredients. She finds new twists for common ingredients, that bring out all the flavor and make it exciting to try things out. The recipes are so approacheable, because they're so easy. You'll keep using it, because the food is so tasty.

Summary: Great starter cookbook!
Review: What a lifesaver to be able to pick up a book for my son going off to college that was exactly right for his needs. He had no idea about cooking terms, shelf life for foods, how to shop, clean up or what equipment to use. I especially liked the idea that there was a list of how to fix mistakes, which we are sure will happen! Hopefully he will read about how to avoid wasting leftovers. This book is perfect, geared for anyone with no previous cooking experience, and is great for anyone on a tight budget or those cooking for one. He liked the minute meals, since he has no patience to wait for food to cook, and would naturally go for frozen or junk food. With this book there is hope he will eat something healthy.
