The Absolute Beginner's Cookbook, Revised: Or How Long Do I Cook a 3-Minute Egg?

Yes??? Then you are physically and mentally capable of preparing tasty and satisfying dishes at home. Believe it or not, you can cook! And The Absolute Beginner's Cookbook, Revised tells you exactly how, step-by-simple-step.

We begin at the very beginning, with the egg, and cover just about every way you'd want to prepare it — from simply boiled to souffled (our never-fail recipe). On we go to wonderful main dishes like One-Step Lasagna, Busy Day Ham Wellington, and Overnight Crab Casserole — not to mention salads, soups, sandwiches, vegetables, muffins, and breads. (You've simply got to try the Whole-Wheat Coffee Can Bread!)

Let's not forget about our fool-proof desserts such as Blueberry Cheesecake and Bachelor's Apple Pie, and our assortment of easy-to-make cookies and cakes with such old favorites as Peanut Butter cookies and Carrot Zucchini Cake. And for parties, the scrumptious snacks will appeal to anyone who entertains on a busy schedule.
