Industry Reviews "[T]here couldn't be a better title for Pam Anderson's new book. She attempts heroically to give cooks the clues they need to get a meal on the table without dizzying themselves between book and stove." Hesser
"[W]hat makes [Anderson's] book different is that she has the good sense and restraint to keep it simple. This is everyday family food, not party food....Anderson's voice is so clear and unpretentious that it would be easy to think this book was COOKING FOR DUMMIES. It's not: As someone who gets free cookbooks to review, I always ask myself if I'd spend my own money on one. This time I already have. I sent one copy to a niece who's getting married this summer and doesn't cook at all." Epicurious - Irene Sax (05/05/2000)
