"The humor in the title carries right through this book…. [Joshua Lambert’s] writing style and lighthearted sketches by Debby Lee make information about shopping, kitchen setup and food safety fun to read. Chapters on 3 a.m. snacks, eating on a tight budget, and hangover remedies, show an insider’s understanding of student eating habits…. Lambert, who wrote the book while he was an undergraduate, seems to have his audience pegged. His humor should entice even the most kitchen-challenged to give cooking a try." --Reprinted with permission of the Boston Herald

Customer Reviews ::
Macgyver's Guide to Cooking - B. Preston - Philadelphia, PA
This is the perfect cookbook for someone who has never cracked an egg before. It gives you tips on what to do if you are lacking in supplies, the recipes are open ended so it is difficult to do a poor job with a recipe, and it includes commentary so it feels less like an instruction manual and more like a guide. It was a great gift for a friend of mine who assumed it was impossible to cook in college. This is not a good cookbook for people with a firm grasp on cooking. The wording will irritate anyone with experience.
