Also included are tips on saving electricity, time and energy around the home. Scattered throughout the book are the odd tips for fixing culinary mistakes. Armed with a cup, teaspoon and tablespoon, and a willingness to learn, Help! There's a stove in my kitchen is all that is needed to become a whiz in the kitchen.
