Now You're Cooking for Company: Everything a Beginner Needs to Know to Have People over

Summary: Elaine Corn is a lifesaver!
Review: I love this book! I have 'Now You're Cooking' as well and they are the two most used books in my collection. The recipes are for good, simple, full flavor meals. If you weren't raised in the chicken it can be daunting learning to cook, especially if you don't want to live off of boxed/canned foods. If you know someone moving out on their own, off to college, whatever, get this for them. It is fantastic!

Summary: Great cook book for beginners and semi-beginners!
Review: I love this book. I also own the original Now You're Cooking. Elaine Corn gives great instructions, tips and the recipes are wonderful. I have used her books countless times when having company. I especially like the fact that she tells you the order of preparation and how to time everything. These books are great for college grads or brides. And the Chocolate chip cookie recipe in the Now You're Cooking book is the BEST.
