Help, my apartment has a kitchen


Help! My Apartment Has a Kitchen Cookbook: 100 + Great Recipes with Foolproof Instructions

When Kevin Mills moved into his first apartment, he soon realized he couldn't live on just take-out food alone, so he called his mother, Nancy. She taught him to cook, and now the two of them have put together a collection of easy recipes for inexperienced cooks, along with lots of "Mom tips" and "Mom warnings." (Because Kevin's girlfriend is a vegetarian, more than half the recipes are vegetarian.)

Nice book if you're looking for something simple... not really a book for the more confident cook.
