1: Moms have the best tips...
The book's title is terrific, and I really like the Mom Tips scattered throughout the book. There are some interesting recipes, not just the usual suspects. Of course, that means that this book is not the best choice if you were to own only one cookbook. You'd need a starter book with recipes with fewer ingredients. That said, if the intended recipient of this book has had some cooking experience, this would be a great book to give. It would make a thoughtful housewarming gift for someone getting their first apartment with no roommates...yippee! That IS call for a celebration. With it's clever drawings, this book would be a good companion to 50 Ways to Leave Your Mother, a humorous advice book for young adults new to a life away from Mom and Dad. So let's start this party with the Deviled Eggs, Garlic Bread and Spicy Bean Dip. (Recipes found in Kevin Mills' book.)

2: For the Non Cook
My niece recently married. She has never learned to cook anything except boxed macaroni and cheese. My grandson has been living with me for almost six years. He has made noises about learning to cook. I decided to give them something that would ease them gently into actually cooking a meal so I gave each of them a copy. No word yet as to whether they have actually tried to use them. Although my Thank You card from my niece said "Thank you for ...& for the funny Cookbook."

3: Help! My Apartment Has a Kitchen Cookbook
The recipes and Mom Hints look great. But the paper is so filmsy and light weight- like newsprint ,that I don't think the pages would hold up for every long at all. I know how I cook and the pages can get messy!

4: As a wedding gift...
I bought this book as a wedding gift for a couple who moved out of their parents house into their own apartment after their wedding. I figured they probably hadn't had much experience with cooking. Well she said she loved it. So I say it is a great book!

5: I Could Have Used This Twenty-some Years Ago
As a culinary-challenged Mom coming from a long line of terrible cooks, I was happy to stumble upon this. Even after many years my cooking is still hit and miss. I confess I didn't know even one eighth of Mrs. Mills' "Mom Tips." Shame on me. Happily I salted the corn water (makes the corn tough) and cooked the garlic on high heat (Wow! I used garlic, how creative.) So with my second-oldest son a week away from moving into his own place, I figured he needed some desperate help. Cup-a-noodles and Jalapeno Lays are his steady diet outside of the college cafeteria. And help he will get with this fine book, if only he will apply himself. It has the right touch. It's thorough but not daunting, has lots of info but isn't confusing. Plus there's plenty of comfort food to go around. (Pot roast included. When's the last time I made pot roast?) It's a good idea presented lightheartedly. And I actually got a "thanks, Mom" when I gave it to him.
