Rating:  Summary: mmm... real tasty Review: while it is true that i would not guarantee you will love every recipe in this book, i can say that for every one you wonder "how could anyone like this?" there is another that you will be absolutely amazed that you made so easily... and with stuff you already had in the kitchen! this is also a very comprehensive cookbook covering a variety of stuff from breakfast to dessert to what you can make with leftover beer. there are so many good recipes in here that don't involve more than a few essential ingredients and only take ~15 minutesit is more than worth the low price - you don't waste any money on pretty pictures in this cookbook, just lots of quick recipes.
Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK--CHANGED MY LIFE! Review: Yes, this book has changed my life--I've gone from being a glamour girl, living the life of a starlet ("What? Me? Cook?! Yeah right!!!") To becoming a gourmet chef overnight. My family and friends are astounded--they are still trying to regain their speech after tasting my delectable Blueberry, Chocolate and Banana Nut cakes! Who KNEW? I now cook for myself every day and I have never eaten such delicious food. The title is misleading--it should be "Unleashing the Gourmet Cook Within." I am not a student, but a vegetarian girly girl who really had given up all hopes of ever learning how to cook. Everything I'd ever attempted making before this was not suitable for my dog even--until now...I am a Master Chef! The recipes are delicious and simple and the ingredients are all simple to find and inexpensive! I no longer eat out all the time and the change has made my eating habits and lifestyle that much healthier for it. Why grab a can of soup or a frozen food when you can dine on sumptuous delicious warm meals and desserts that you can make from scratch in minutes from whole/wholesome fresh ingredients? Amazing! I use this book daily and there's enough variety to never get bored...a little something for everyone. This is truly cooking's best kept secret.....shhhhh!!!
