Product Description

Product Description

This book tells you how to boil an egg - and how to poach, scramble or fry it. It tells you: how to prepare vegetables; about different meats; how to get all the elements of a meal ready to eat at the same time. It takes you from the very basic basics right through to the mysteries of 'Sunday lunch'.


From the Publisher

If you don't consider yourself a cook, this book is for you!
It tells you how to boil an egg - and how to poach, scramble or fry it; it tells you how to prepare vegetables; it tells you about different meats; it tells you how to get all the elements of a meal ready to eat at the same time.

In fact, it tells you all the things that other cookery books assume you know.

More than that, it takes you from the very basic basics right through to the mysteries of "Sunday Lunch". So, although most of the recipes are designed to feed one, there is scope for entertaining too, as you get more confident about your abilities in the kitchen.

For those cooking on their own for the first time - for whatever reason - it is the cookery adviser at your elbow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, 29 Jul 2006
By zztopbanana (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   

This is a fairly simple but extremely useful book and very much a worthwhile addition to your library.

There are lots of quick and easy recipes and they a lot more varied than you might think - because of that, there's pretty much something for just about every taste. It's just a pity there are no pictures, but even so, it is worth buying.

And at the price, it's a bargain - you can't really go wrong with this.

4.0 out of 5 stars My first cookery book, 21 April 2005
By Gary Nicklin (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
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.
