Very funny and a great first cookbook. I was a little beyond most of the tips in the book, even in college when I read it, but it still had some good basic recipes and taught most cooking basics. There are also a few "advanced" recipes. Great if you are just starting out, but even if you aren't, you are likely to pick up a few pointers.
