Book Description: Full-color illustrations by cartoonist Tony DiPreta provide step-by-step directions for 12 complete dinners. This universally designed book enables people who are 10 and older to access complete dinner instructions without obstacles. It is fully accessible to cooks who are new to meal preparation, new to the English language, recently widowed, challenged by processing the written word, enjoy cartoon instructions, do best with realistic full-color drawings, able to eat more sensibly with all the steps to dinner preparation already sequenced.
This book can help readers of many ages. This is a no-nonsense, hands-on cooking guide that assumes no prior knowledge of the kitchen. I wish I had had it when my father was suddenly on his own after my mother's death. It would also be ideal for college students--a big step up from grilled-cheese sandwiches made on the ironing board! And it's a great way to introduce children to cooking while respecting their desire to do it themselves.
