You're young, you're hungry, and you're clueless. The kitchen looms before you like something from 'The X-Files'. There's food in there, but then what? It'll have to be cooked . or at least peeled . probably both. It's enough to scare even the foolhardy, but then so is a diet of TV Dinners. And you can't afford to keep ordering pizza. Aargh! Relax! You're not alone.

Author Evelyn Raab (mum to two teenage sons) understands that the kitchen is alien territory, and she is going to teach you everything you need to know to produce something deliciously edible out of actual ingredients - in other words,cook- and live to tell the tale. And there's more! Each recipe is coded with an icon symbolising vegetarian meals, cheap eats, couch potato, mum, or family food, food to impress, and snacks and munchies. Whether you're living on your own for the very first time or you're just on your own for dinner,Clueless in the Kitchenwill be the first and - hopefully - only guide you will ever need.
