Essential guide for the Non-cook

This is the book to get if you are like me, and have trouble boiling an egg. Thorson really knows his stuff and shares his secrets for making easy dishes that men crave. Starting relatively simple and moving on to more complex dinners, Thorson keeps you entertained with anecdotes all the way. Forget all those "Men's cookbooks" put out by Men's magazines. This is the one to get.

A great first cookbook for anyone who can't cook !

I first bought this book when I was 28 years old, and hadn't a clue about cooking. If you don't know how to cook, this book will take you by the hand step by step all the while telling a funny stories about his aunt gertie and the Mole. to this day I get compliments on a lasagna which I got from this cookbook, people tell me its the best they've ever tasted. I remember back in 1989 when I first bought it, thinking I hope I learn something? this cookbook gave me the confidence to keep on cooking. It is not like any other cookbook, most of which expect you to know cooking terms like "sweat the carrots or render this or separate that" Once you finish going through this cookbook you will be ready to tackle the other more intimidating cookbooks out there. a mighty fine book.
