What is Your Favorite Cookbook?

I bought a paperback copy of Peg Bracken's "I Hate to Cook" cookbook about 30 years ago. It has never failed to help me out of many difficult situations.

What Do You Like Best About the Book?

Recipes are quick, simple, few ingredients, and the author's sense of humor will help you sail through sticky situations. Ms. Bracken doesn't take cooking seriously. She insists that it is a necessary evil, but one which can be made totally easy. She uses a lot of readymade ingredients and combines them with special items.

Advice

  • It's out of print, so if you can find a copy, hang onto it.
