Kitchen Angst: Have You Got Problems? Cook 'em Out

by Margaret Sullivan

From the back cover:

Dear Reader,
Would you like to get so depressed that you can't even move? Me neither. That's why I'm not going to tell you all my problems — only some, only the ones that probably resemble yours. And unlike the rest of the yammerings of the Mea Culpa Generation, this book actually shows you how to solve them. Because the door to triumph over the universal struggle is through the kitchen. And there's nothing that food can't repair.
– Professor Angst

Very funny.

Plus, it's a real cookbook with simple yet interesting recipes like "Blue cheese and tomatoes for ambiguous relationships" and "Jalapeño corn bread to quell an unwitting opponent."

This is an amazing book. I read it whenever I need a good chuckle.
