Set my 1st Copy on Fire

I've enjoyed your cookbook "The Bachelor's Guide". I am 29 years old. I've owned a home for the past 20 months, and am enjoying your cookbook. In December I accidentally set my 1st copy of "The Bachelor's Guide" on fire, my mother gave me a new stove for Christmas. I always set the cookbook on the stove while cooking (NOT ANY MORE). I turned on the wrong element. I had thrown hamburger in the frying pan (I was cooking "Hobbley Cobbley" p. 44) I turned away to wash my hands at the sink. Out of the corner of my eye I saw smoke - I first thought it was just the element buring off a previous spill. That was not the case, it was the cookbook! I then threw the cookbook on the floor and started jumping on the book to stop the fire. Later that day I called the bookstore to order another copy. I burnt my first copy of "The Bachelor's Guide" - does this mean I am no longer entitled to the Diploma at the back of the book HA HA? This past week I received my second copy of "The Bachelor's Guide". I've continued making my favorites and trying new recipes.

P.S. My sister will be married for 13 years on June 6th, 2000 with 2 children 6 years and 9 years old, and she has heard me talk so much about "The Bachelor's Guide" she borrowed my cookbook. I bought her a copy of "The Bachelor's Guide to Ward Off Starvation" so she will have a copy of her own.

A great intro to the kitchen, and a keeper

My Mom bought me this cookbook when I first moved out on my own. It isn't written with a lot of cooking jargon that might frighten off a new cook, and instead says things like "chuck it all together and mix it up" which is much less intimidating than "fold" :)

I now am a decent cook, but I still refer back to it fairly frequently - the recipes are good, and easy! It also has menu plans for "impressing the ladies" -- although I am a woman, so I guess I could impress the guys. :)

Highly recommend it

Ideal Cookbook for Men -Great Food, Lots of Laughs

The cartoons and recipe chapter headings alone are enough reason to buy this super cookbook. Look up 20+ Ways to Cook Hamburger and Career-Path Casseroles - well worth the price of admission. These recipes are written in an off-the-wall style, but they really work. I gave this book to my two sons when they moved out to go to university and to work, and they loved it. The recipes range from very basic, boiled eggs and Macaroni and Cheese, to reasonably sophisticated but still very simple, Baked Rotini and Coq au Vin. I have friends who have bought this book for their kitchen-illiterate husbands when going on business trips or holidays, or even going into the hospital for an operation. Several women I know have also given this cookbook to male friends who have recently been divorced or widowed, it's been a lifesaver - no exaggeration.

The ultimate bachelor's cookbook, written by bachelors for bachelors. This book is educational, entertaining and enables the budding chef to feed himself and to impress the women in his life (and his buddies). Recipes were developed by a professional chef for easy preparation. Brilliant cartoons by Yardley Jones, one of Canada's foremost illustrators and cartoonists, add wit and spice throughout. An ideal cookbook for men. A great gift.
