Title: The idiot's guide to cooking
Review: With essential recipes like how to bake a cake from a mix (no joke!) and insightful "emergency" tips like how to substitute artificial bacon bits if you run out of bacon (again, no joke!), this cookbook ought to be called "The idiot's guide to cooking".Though the writers devote lots of space to cooking with processed, consumer-product foods, they don't spare much room for vegetarian, vegan, low-fat or other generally healthy cooking techniques. Even the most basic dishes are loaded with fat: the waffle recipe calls for half a cup of oil -- 115 grams of fat or 1000 calories right there!
