Choose your current energy level and learn important kitchen skills such as the following. If you can open a package: Turn instant ramen into a feast If you can assemble a plate: Make a cheese board fit for a king If you can press a button: Whip up perfect eggs in the microwave If you can wield a knife: Turn any leftovers into a hearty casserole Plus dozens more ideas for living deliciously without impossible effort! Whether you're burned-out, depressed, overworked, a new parent, living away from home for the first time, or some combination of the above, let food editor, classically trained chef, and nacho enthusiast Margaret Eby show you how to make your eating experience better--and easier--in every way.
