Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Delia Smith attempted to show young people setting up home how to cook with her glossy book How To Cook. Can't Cook Won't Cook Leaves Home is a less glamorous version of the same thing.

There are no recipes for boiled eggs, but most of the dishes in Can't Cook Won't Cook Leaves Home can be made in 10 to 15 minutes. The recipes were written by Silvana Franco, a food writer and member of the Can't Cook Won't Cook television production team. T he book makes shopping suggestions for staple ingredients for snacks, which are likely to appeal to teens: Banana Sarnies, Chilli Tortillas and, of course, chips. There are also recipes for healthier meals, like Crusty Lamb Lasagne and Chicken Balti.

This is not the cookbook to choose if the thought of opening a tin of pineapple chunks horrifies you. But it's ideal for anyone looking for ideas for tasty meals that can be whipped up in a flash after school, or while watching video recordings of Ainsley Harriott and Kevin Woodford.

Product Description
A cookbook designed for students or anyone leaving home for the first time. The recipes use accessible and inexpensive ingredients, and have a maximum of 10 minutes preparation and minimal cooking times. Chapters are included on healthy eating, hygiene and kitchen safety, and equipment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for all, 8 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As someone who hadn't just left home and certainly can cook, I was a bit dubious about a friend's recommendation of this book. But I was pleasantly surprised! The recipes don't involve lots of silly fiddly stuff either with ingredients or utensils. They're mostly quick and pretty easy - in fact some are ridiculously easy and yet impressive at the same time (for example see the speedy creme brulee recipe). Very sensibly they use the quantities in which you buy things - i.e. a whole 250g tub of Mascarpone rather than 175g (what on earth do you do with the rest, Delia?). If you like tasty food that comes in good size portions (the recipes are generally for 2 people - again very sensible!) which doesn't get you in a stew while you're making it, then this is the book for you. I heartily recommend eveything that I've made from it so far and my taste buds and stomach are looking forward to me making some more!
