Clueless in the Kitchen is designed for beginners -- and other time-challenged cooks -- who love good food, cooked from scratch, and have very little time for cooking. Clueless in the Kitchen gives the straightforward instructions needed to put together healthful meals and snacks (without obsessing). There is lots of information on preparing meals for a household, even if it includes vegetarians or young parents with picky eaters. Included are survival tips and useful cooking advice for everyone, including knife skills every cook needs to know.

Now illustrated with 175 color photographs, this revised and updated edition guides the inexperienced cook through a whole new kitchen experience. Every recipe is presented and tested to ensure that it is easy to make in the least amount of time possible.

Clueless in the Kitchen is filled with simple recipes for just about everything. There are recipes for lasagna, chili and fajitas, there are curries and casseroles, hearty soups and lots of great snacks. There are even some truly decadent desserts.

The range of delicious recipes include:

chunky guacamole and other dips

creamy pumpkin, minestrone and potato soups

authentic Greek salad, cheery carrot and raisin salad

pancakes, crepes and scrambled eggs

beef stew, nearly normal shepherd's pie and sloppy joes

fried rice, stuffed peppers and thermonuclear chicken wings

amazing chocolate cake and chocolate chip cookies.

Whether a beginner or short on time, or looking to spruce up an everyday cooking repertoire, Clueless in the Kitchen is the best possible guide to healthy home cooking.
