Alright it’s not as serious as starving…before I left Samantha’s mother gave me this lovely present. I had previously expressed to her that I had wanted to learn how to cook and that I had trouble just doing the basics.

Cue anxiety when my mother tried to teach me how to cut onions for a casserole.

Anyways, the lovely Sandra brought out this book for me! So I’m going to recommend it for college students, people living on their own for the first time and can’t afford to eat out every night and people that just don’t know how to cook and would like to learn. The book has both simple and  challenging recipes, but after reading them they don’t seem too difficult. I’m especially excited to make the roast chicken (Sandra said she would teach me out of the book!) There are also basic tips for “how to cook,” such as learning how to cut vegetables, which I really needed to learn.

If this pertains to your liking, the book is $24.95. It’s definitely a book worth reading – it has pretty pictures of food.
