Help! My Apartment Has a Kitchen

Kevin Mills and Nancy Mills

"When I graduated high school and I was ready to move out of my parent's house, my mom gave me my first cookbook which was "Help, My Apartment has a Kitchen!" which I immediately found hilarious. I would say this cookbook really lays things out in a user-friendly manner. It has a lot of interesting recipes, ranging from simple things to more, complicated things. But, everything is sort of plotted out so that it's not overwhelming or difficult. And it also comes with little, what they call "mom tips" and "mom warnings."

My favorite recipe from the cookbook is for Thanksgiving turkey. And I've actually used it two or three times. My turkey always comes out perfect. I did mess up one recipe though. I was making fudge pie and I made it and it was fine and then I took it out of the stove and set it to cool on a burner and forgot to turn the oven off and it just cooked right through the pan and burnt. Tips and warnings come in handy, especially when I was making fudge pie. One of the warnings was "don't buy any chocolate that's already sweetened. Make sure you buy unsweetened baking chocolate otherwise it will come out sickeningly sweet."

I don't see why somebody who has more cooking experience couldn't get experience from it because even though it is for beginners, it's laid out so nicely and it's so helpful and there's interesting things in there, I don't see why anyone wouldn't enjoy it.

I would give this, five stars out of five stars. I would give this cookbook to anyone with a sense of humor, who likes to cook or maybe doesn't so much."
