Summary: A perfect second cook book
Comment: If you could peek into my home and watch me cook, more often than not, "What to Cook" is my main book and Betty Crocker is my reference.
I never thought I'd see easier (or more) uses for simple staple items. I like the way the book is organized by main ingredient so I can look in my cupboards and see what I have, then go to the book to get started making something with it.
Finally, Arthur has a way of writing that really gets my creative juices flowing--nearly every recipe has suggestions for variations. I've often found myself inventing new dishes almost without trying by using his simple recipes as a starting point and his colorful writing as an inspiration.
For example, try starting with his already incredible and easy tomato soup recipe and add a chopped green bell pepper and two or three tablespoons of high quality olive oil... I've served this to guests and they couldn't believe how easy it was to make when I showed them the recipe. Several said it was the best tomato soup they'd ever had.

Summary: If You Can Only Own Two Cookbooks ...
Comment: ... this should be one of them. Whenever the cupboards are looking lean, I am always able to scrape up something delicious out of practically nothing with the guidance of _What to Cook_. Most of the recipes are very quick and easy to make, light on preparation, and fabulous. Bless you, Arthur Schwartz!
Although it doesn't suffer for the lack of a color, photo section, I think every cookbook should have one: hence, 4 stars.

Summary: I'm eating at home again!
Comment: I bought this book 6 months ago and have used it nearly every day since. Not only is it well-written and neatly organized by ingredient, but it also has a list of how long you can expect various foods to last, concentrating on the ingredients that last the longest (great help in making up the shopping list!). Now I have an idea of how long I have until that bag of carrots or block of cream cheese meets its maker. This is a must have for anyone who picks up fast food for the hundredth time because they don't think there's anything in the house to eat.
