What To Cook When You Think There's Nothing in the House To Eat: More Than 175 Easy Recipes And Meal Ideas
If you like to eat well but don't relish the thought of going to the supermarket on a rainy Sunday afternoon or are too tired to shop after work, this is the cookbook for you. What to Cook When You Think There's Nothing in the House to Eat puts your pantry to work, showing you how pasta, beans, canned tuna, eggs, and cheese can form the basis of nutritious, tasty, and easy meals. There are tips on selecting, purchasing, and storing ingredients, along with recipes that feature each ingredient. A box of spaghetti, for example, "lasts longer than most marriages." Add olive oil, garlic, and a pinch of hot pepper, and you've got a meal -- Spaghetti Aglio Olio -- that anyone would applaud. This is not fancy food. It's everyday fare for those with even the most basic cooking skills.

My all time favorite cookbook.:
I've had this cook book for years. My copy is stained and sad looking, while my Julia Child still looks new after 25 years. I find favorite recipes here and it's true that you'll find something to cook with those random ingredients that you've pushed to the back of the cupboard.
The chick-pea chili recipe is an all time favorite in my house.
You won't go wrong with this book - and you'll discover the kinds of non perishable staples to keep on hand so that you can whip up something tasty, filling... more info
Great cookbook:
We use this a lot and have also given it as a gift. Very useful for a student or someone who is on a budget. Arthur Schwartz is an excellent writer, so the book is entertaining even if you aren't looking for a recipe.
How Can You Live Without Arthur's Banana Bread?:
Right on, all you discerning people. This is the ONE cookbook among a myriad that I WOULD NOT give up. It's as good to read as it is to cook from. The cabbage and noodles, kugel variation --- super! It's as valuable for a sophisticated cook as for a beginner.
Essential for all cooks!:
This is the best idea book ever! He takes bland staples and
gives you a recipe! One day I was confounded, feeling flu and at
home. I saw the recipe for Oriental Lemon Sauce for Noodles.
Lemon juice, soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic and sesame oil! All
the things that fight infection! His simple little recipes have
actually taught me how to cook, or at least illustrated cooking basics. From wilted celery soup, to microwave peanut brittle, nomatter what you don't have on hand,... more info
