Cooking for 1 or 2 (A Nitty Gritty Cookbook)

Rating:
Summary: A disappointing cookbook
Review: If your skill level is beyond boiling pasta noodles and making a tossed salad, then this is not the cookbook for you. While it is not a complete waste, it was disappointing. If you're looking for a great cookbook for single people and couples, I highly recommend Jane Doerfer's, Going Solo In The Kitchen. It is an excellent mix of very simple and more challenging recipes, and it presents a lot of variety.

Summary: A most useful cookbook
Review: 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.

Summary: Perfect for time pressed singles
Review: 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.

Summary: Not a bad cook book!
Review: 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.
