Eating the proper amount is hard. Eating when you have low time, money, mental energy, or education on cooking is even harder.

This book assumes nothing. Do you know how to turn on your stove? You are properly prepared to use this cookbook.

Just want to share it with more folks!

    I love the concept of this book but was pretty disappointed by the actual recipes tbh.

      You might not be the target audience. I’m not currently the target audience either.

      My wife and I are really into cooking. We have a whole bookshelf of cookbooks, a metrowire rack full of “kitchen stuff” and we use it daily.

      There was definitely a time when this book would have been perfect. This book seems to cover a lot of stuff that’s obvious to me now but wasn’t always.

      If you’re food plan is a bulk package of Ramen, any help on how to make it not the same as every other day is culinary gold.

      The title is quite literal. It’s not “some simple tasty recipes”, it’s depression-level-bare-minimum-effort-food ;)

      Same here. Last time this was shared I found a single recipe kind of interesting, but not enough for me to actually memorize what it was.

      Thinking back, it was probably the Mac and Cheese one, and I had already wanted to try to make it anyway (it’s not a very common dish in my country, or at least my circle)
