Summary: Please write a sequel!!!
Review: I have used this book for years, with incredible success. I just wish the authors would pump out a sequel like they promised in the first edition. This is a great recipe book for bachelors or couples who have a good sense of humor and want to whip up quick and easy romantic dinners! ... and breakfasts! ;-)

Summary: What a fabulous book for a young, single man!
Review: It's really too bad this book is out of print! The pictures may be a bit dated, but the advice is timeless. In very humourous fashion, it tells the reader (presumably a clueless single guy) how to wow a woman through cooking her a meal. Unlike most cookbooks, it also gives him much-needed practical advice -- such as how to prepare his apartment for her arrival. The cartoons and illustrations further the text and are funny all by themselves (I sat on the couch and giggled my way through the book). The recipes are very well laid-out and sound really tasty, with due regard given to providing variety in dishes (even a vegetarian menu). And (as a young woman) I can say that all of the "how to impress" advice is as dead-on as generic advice can be. This would make a wonderful gift -- funny and useful at the same time. I plan to buy a copy now for each of my sons (three of them!), to put in the "moving away from home" future gift box. Every single man needs to have this book. Oh -- and I'm also keeping a copy for myself, because those recipes sound GOOD! I think I'll cheat and fix a romantic dinner for my husband...
