Living on your own includes cooking.

So, you didn’t give much thought to the fact that cooking would be one of those daily chores you would have to do once you moved out on your own.

Relax! This book has been written just for you. A few simple instructions, some helpful hints and you can eat.

So you can retain your "child in good standing" status, I have even included some hints on remembering and celebrating those important family days. In case you think that this is no longer important now that you are on your own … let me remind you of the smell of mom’s turkey cooking on Christmas Day … I know you won’t want to miss it.
