Description: This Is The Book For Folks who like to eat well but may be a little lazy about traveling to the store on a rainy Sunday afternoon or are too tired to stop at the market after work. What to Cook When You Think There's Nothing in the House to Eat puts your pantry to work, showing how pasta, beans, canned tuna and sardines, eggs, and cheese can form the basis of nutritious, tasty, and easy meals. There are tips on selecting, purchasing, and storing the ingredients along with the recipes that feature each ingredient. A box of spaghetti, for example, "lasts longer than many marriages". Add olive oil, some garlic, a pinch of hot pepper and you've got a dish -- Spaghetti Aglio Olio -- that any Italian would applaud. This is not fancy food. It's everyday fare for those with even the most basic cooking skills.
