Everyone knows at least one. It may be a family member. It may be a friend. They view themselves as discriminating eaters. Everyone else just calls them picky. Whatever you call them, if you have to cook for them, you had better know the rules and be prepared to follow them. If you don't, their plates will come back covered in your cooking. Cooking Without Condiments is a helpful guide to picky eaters written by one of the pickiest of them all. It details Terry Huebner's theory of food, one that is likely common to most picky eaters out there. He explains what he'll eat, what he'll never touch and why. Although it is largely a tongue-in-cheek autobiography of a man trying to explain his likes and dislikes to a skeptical world, it is also full of helpful tips and tasty recipes that will make the cook in your family's job just a little bit easier. Included is the Golden List of Acceptable Condiments, along with a template for creating a Golden List of your own. It is an essential guide for anyone who knows a picky eater or has to cook for one.
