    			  My gods.  It's perfect.  For the utterly clueless in the kitchen (like myself), there are chapters on all the things that should be a required part of our formal education but aren't, like &quot;Cooking Terms&quot; and &quot;Buy These Items Each Week&quot;.  The Bachelor Food (The Quick Cook) chapter helpfully eases you in, and once all the basics have been covered for us clueless newbies, then there is the bulk of the book, the &quot;action cook strips&quot; themselves, full of recipes and helpful commentary on foods that I don't know how to pronounce.  (Where does one even buy calves' brains?)

    			  As a vampire story, it's entertaining enough; but its dramatic claims to expand upon Dracula's origins are a disappointment.  (Those origins, in short: gypsies and their descendants are evil for no apparent reason.)
