In a series of fun-yet-straightforward essays and somewhat snarky recipe descriptions, Hassler takes the new/novice home cook through the basic steps of making tasty, economical meals. Starting with stews, chilis, and soups, the journey leads to such meals as pork lo mein, stuffed bell peppers, and chicken vindaloo. "It turns out it's not all that hard, quite a bit of fun, and a hell of a lot cheaper than sticking with those same old heat-n-eat patterns, too," Hassler said. "Look - I don't know how you got here (divorce, 'confirmed bachelor,' whatever), but now that you are, I want to shake your hand. You see, I was once a clueless eater, but I've learned a few things that helped make ...

Do meals seem like a compromise between what's easy and what's good for you? Not anymore! I spent most of my twenties traveling and I needed easy options that wouldn't slow me down, and they had to be gluten-free, sweetener-free, and flow with my ever-evolving knowledge of nutrition and biology. And they had to taste freaking amazing because I've always been a picky eater. Around me, everyone else chose between healthy meals taking an hour or more to produce, and eating cheap, unhealthy food. I couldn't settle for less than super fast AND super healthy. Over the years, I developed these recipes to meet my needs, and now they meet your needs too! Appliance-Free, 5-Minute, Revitalizing ...

Libby Leff Katz aka Bubbie raised four devilishly handsome boys: Erik, Steven, David, and Ted. These growing boys had voracious appetites and essentially ate Bubbie and Poppy out of house and home. If you are curious, Poppy often ate the scraps left behind by the boys unless, of course, Bubbie was making pan-fried liver and onions. In addition to making traditional 1970s and early 80s fare that you could find in many American-Jewish kitchens, Bubbie loved to bake. Who hasn't savored her famous Mandel Bread? During Passover, she cooked traditional dishes that had been passed down over generations. Surprisingly, the boys all kept Passover "in the house".

It was a delight to compile this book for my mother, Mary Carol Kerr. She shares the ideal that "Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all." My father subscribed to Tom Wolfe's philosophy, "There is no spectacle on earth more appealing than that of a beautiful woman in the act of cooking dinner for someone she loves." Often, dad would wander into mom's kitchen to check how the meal was progressing. This was usually met with a "Shoo – it'll be ready soon!" Her shoo was often rebutted with kisses or cuddles, and "Mmmm… smells good." My mother, of course, knew this and often delayed mealtime in pursuit of kisses. Meals were always for sharing, ...
