The Little Black Apron: A Single Girl's Guide to Cooking with Style and Grace

I learned alot from this book. There was way more information on nutrition that I expected, and it inspired me to start eating much healthier. It's helpful to read about the cold, hard numbers of the nutritional facts. The recipes are super easy, too! I have made four or five of them already, and they are very easy to make, easy to alter, and easy to improvise with. This book has many very helpful tips. I highly recommend it for any girl living on her own.

I bought this book because it is just incredibly cute and as a single professional woman I could always use single serving recipes. The book is fun to read and really informative, but even better is the quality of the recipes! I have made the bread pudding, pork loin with figs, fennel and apple salad and the scallops with leeks. All were fantastic, and I really was so satisfied. The recipes were simple to follow and did not require too many ingredients. I think what was most impressive was that the cooking times suggested were perfect! My pork and scallops could not have been cooked better. I love this book because I am in the process of learning to really be a good cook, and I love being able to experiment with smaller recipes! So many of the recipes in this book would really impress significant others, friends and family! You will not be disappointed!

I am usually very uncomfortable in the kitchen but someone gave me this book and I decided to cook my boyfriend a gourmet meal. The recipe for the tuna steaks was so straight forward and when I didn't know what mince was (yes, I admit it) there the definition was in the front of the book. Thank Goodness!!! The meal turned out great - I was very impressed with myself as was my date. Every girl needs this book...

I had heard the buzz about this book so I figured I'd buy it...hey, I thought, the cover is definitely appealing and if I follow just one of its recipes than that would be worth the $$. Well, I opened the first page and couldn't stop reading the witty descriptions of kitchen necessities and was amazed at how much I related to these authors. The recipes are simple (with many of them you only need a few ingredients)and they're pretty quick. I, the takout queen, made a roasted chicken last night! I have to say, I amazed myself and am looking forward to testing out the other recipes. Definitely purchase this book... you won't be disappointed!

What a relief to find a cook book catered to girls like me - those who don't venture further than boiling water for pasta or scrambling eggs! The authors of this book have created a smart, informative, and funny guide for the young modern woman ready to confront her fears of the kitchen. Buy your copy now - you will LOVE it!
