Rating: - One-hundred and one things you didn't know but need to know about cooking!
When I left college for home I was so sure that cooking was beyond me I had already decided to use the canteen for each and every meal. However, during a quiet moment I picked up this book and soon saw it made cooking out to be extremely straight forward and fun, which I discovered it was, and continue to do so!.... all thanks to this publication.
I think it's charm is in the fact that a mother wrote it for her son when he went away to college, so that comforting, non judgemental feel comes through.
My copy is now very tatty so came on this site to purchase a new one, but I'm very pleased to see there is now another edition, so will put that in the shopping basket.
I hope this review has been of help

My Mum bought me this wonderful little book when I left home and 10 years later I still refer to it. My husband also thinks it is great and I am buying it for my friend (who has just started cooking) for Christmas.
