Attractive pictures of some common basic cooking mistakes. Minimal explanation for the why, but does clearly tell you how to avoid certain problems.

Very unreliable for nutrition. Calories and protein requirements vary widely, salt isn't that big a deal, and ideas about needing to have snacks constantly are outdated. Eat less than you burn to lose weight. Can be all carbs and only one meal a day if you want.

While this book wasn't a literary masterpiece, there were a lot of great tips and easy to understand fixes for common cooking problems. The book is well laid out and and had enough whimsy to make it an easy, enjoyable read.

It’s not really solutions to mistakes. It’s how to avoid the mistakes in the first place.
Has good suggestions, just not what it says it is
