Jan Arkless’s bestselling recipe book has given confidence to a whole generation of new cooks. This new edition has been fully updated to include such new recipes as Hoisin Chicken Stir Fry, Tabbouleh and Winter Pork Casserole. Leaving home for university or to start a new job? Suddenly faced with cooking for yourself for the first time and don’t want to exist on a diet of takeaways or squander your money on expensive ready-made meals? Don’t worry! All the recipes you need are here, starting right at the beginning with how to boil an egg – and then how to poach, scramble and fry it as well! The essential guide for those new to cooking. Includes useful table of quantities when cooking for one. Simple instructions on how to prepare vegetables. Easy, tasty and economical meals. Most of the recipes serve one – but some feed two or more for when you’re entertaining friends. How to Boil an Egg explains all the things that other cookery books assume you know.

Format:Paperback
I was given this book as a housewarming present when I first moved out of my parents' house about 15 years ago. I think the person that gave it to me thought it was a bit of a joke, due to the title. However, this is a brilliant book for someone that needs to cook simple, tasty meals for one or two. The book is full of useful tips and the recipes are easy to follow. The spaghetti bolognaise is one recipe that I remember with much fondness. It was a firm favourite when friend or family came round.
A few years later I became vegetarian and subsequently purchased "No Meat for Me Please" by the same author, which is just as good for those of us that don't eat meat.

Excellent - the first cookery book i have found that explains how to cook without assuming any prior knowledge or experience. Well written and easy to understand.
It gave me the confidence to try and learn to cook, rather than total reliance on processed and pre-packed foods, and I learned the taste of real food.
