I picked this up at the library after i saw that eat everything in your pantry challenge announced in the paper. I am totally impressed with it, the recipes are awesome, and totally stuff you can do with things you may have lying around.

I went ahead and bought this book after checking it out from the library - the highest accolade I can give a cookbook.

This book is chock full of ideas and recipes using foods that are probably already in your pantry and/or root cellar. Most are very simple. There are also tips on how to stock a pantry.
