Munchies: Cook What You Want, Eat What You Like. Finally, a Cookbook Even You Will Use

Summary: finally! a cookbook that you can actually use!
Review: One of the reasons I loved living on my own in college was the fact that I got to eat what i wanted when I wanted it. Unfortunately, Easy Mac, ramen noodles, and pizza get boring night after night.. but this book has the answer. It has some great breakfast ideas, recipes to impress chicks with, stuff to make and take to a party, and even an entire chapter for late night munchies which really comes in handy after a night of partying. Kevin presents the recipes in a down-to-earth, easy to understand style that even an idiot like me could make (although he's a little heavy on the hot sauce). From Drunken Chicken to Eggo Ice-Cream Sandwiches, you're definately gonna find something to satisfy your own munchies.

Review: What a fantastic book! I bought this for my brother and will probably end up buying a copy for every single one of my cousins about to go to college. But the recipes are not just for college kids--they're surprisingly good, easy to make, and some are fairly sophisticated (and I'm a good cook with lots of cookbooks). This is great cookbook for anyone who cooks with whatever they find in the fridge. It's not at all intimidating but it's not dumbed down either. It's practical but smart and funny too and will appeal to 20-somethings who just graduated and are impossible to find cool gifts for as well as anyone who likes to eat! I love the sandwiches and breakfast recipes but guys will probably go for the atomic wings and bbq recipes, oh and all the hot sauce! The author is really practical and provides good tips for the inexperienced cook, it sort of looks like a gimmicky book but the recipes are solid--way beyond snack food. I'd give this to any guy I know whether he cooks or not.
