Pre-owned - See photos

From the chapter on Cooking for Yourself, or "Eating with Your Shoes Off"

“The truth is, anyone who has trouble getting the lead out of her lingerie to cook for other people will find it all but impossible to do so for herself. The minimal cooking done in these situations is truly breathtaking.

“I know an elderly lady whose breakfast is whole-wheat toast, bacon, and coffee; whose lunch is a vitamin pill with a Metrecal chaser; and whose dinner is an Old-Fashioned and something frozen, whatever she bumps into first in her fair-sized frozen-food compartment. She's the healthiest elderly lady you ever saw, too, as I happen to know, because she is my mother.”

Yes, Peg Bracken has done it again! This hilarious new primer of instant cooking is a joy to read as well as to use. She may still hate to cook, but millions of readers who giggled over and gobbled up her previous masterpiece still love the way she hates to cook. “Her secret is that while she manages to sound funny and scatterbrained she is basically practical, as sound as a nut.” — BOOK WEEK

“Great fun... a perfect gift book.” — Virginia Kirkus
