Here you are in the kitchen, surrounded by the usual elements of a home kitchen: a freezer, a refrigerator, an oven, a microwave oven, and a blender. You also have the type of ingredients that are normally found in a typical supermarket. This book is not going to offer you any recipes, it won’t tell you about serving sizes or measurements. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about helping you to manage without anyone’s help.
So how can this book help you? It’s very simple. You open the refrigerator and take a look inside. Then you pick up the book and read the pages about the ingredients you have on hand. Once you’ve done that, you can close the book and get to work on whatever you’ve decided to prepare. You don’t have to worry about not having a traditional recipe. Just let yourself get carried away: enjoy, invent, transform, surprise, provoke, convert making dinner into a creative and imaginative experience, and involve your fellow diners in the process!
