Amazon.com Review
Cooking for Dummies is ideal for the novice chef as well as the apartment dweller with limited cooking space (and knowledge). Miller and Rama first discuss basic culinary tools and techniques before diving into the recipes, easy yet impressive menus simple enough to accommodate last-minute guests. Most recipes allow for variations; for example, the basic recipe for Gruyere Soufflé can--with a few minor substitutions--also make Salmon, Spinach, or Ham Soufflé. The style is simple and direct, and the humorous tone should put even the most timid kitchen neophyte at ease.

• A Little Too Basic
05 October, 2009
But I didn't buy it for myself. My neice thinks it's great, and since she just got her first apartment and never learned to cook, this is going to be her bible. But if you REALLY need to learn the basics, like how to hold a knife or peel an apple, this book is for you.

The book is a gift for my daughter. It was in excellent condition when it arrived. I love shopping at Amazon. Everything I've ever order is much better than I hoped.

03 October, 2008
I had originally bought this book as a 'Joke' for my daughter. After it arrived, I paged through it and found it to be very good. Ruined my joke, but I went back and bought six more for Christmas presents. Nothing what I had expected. Very, very good book.

• Not As Basic As Expected
21 November, 2008
This book was not as basic as I expected, with lots of information that was pertinent to more experienced cooks. Nowhere does it tell you how to "boil an egg". Also, some of the recipes required several ingredients that the average "basic" cook would not have available. The book is informative, just not as basic as I expected.

• Great
10 February, 2010
Great for people that really do not where to start when it comes ot stocking a kitchen, a pantry or just everyday grocery shopping and cooking. I was looking for a recipe from this book (possibly another edition??) that I borrowed from the library - it was for a Macaroni and ham salad that contained fennel and basil and everyone LOVED. Guess I have to buy another one. :)
