I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange of an honest review. This is a good informative book for someone starting out in the adventure of cooking. This would make a great gift for a young bride who is just starting out with her new duties of cooking or a single person getting out on their own. In today's busy life parents often don't have the time to teach their kids the important skill of cooking and this book is wrote very easy to understand with clear step by step directions to follow to help you learn the cooking basics. It is a wonderful tool to help instill a love of cooking and healthier approach to a quick and good for you meal in a jiffy! I enjoyed the simplicity of the recipes that were shared and the approach to embrace cooking without worrying about the imperfections that can sometimes happen and just enjoy the end results.

I received this e-book from the author on a gratis basis and I'm happy to pass along my thoughts about it.

I hesitate to call "How to Cook in a Jiffy..." a cookbook, since it is more a step-by-step guide for the kitchen neophyte than a collection of recipes.

For those of us who have been cooking since childhood, this book may seem too simplistic, but it is a very straightforward, practical and simple excursion into the kitchen for one who is confounded by anything beyond a microwave.

From cooking an egg to making a full meal, this instruction book lays out everything in painstaking detail -- which, for its intended audience is a good thing, but for the seasoned cook/chef will be somewhat tedious.

Then again... an accomplished chef wouldn't need this book. :)

I applaud Mr. Kumar's initiative in learning to cook, and for having the tenacity to take what he learned and bring it to others who may be as confounded as he was when he began his culinary journey. His narrative style works, but it does make for a little difficulty in culling the recipes from the chit-chat. A little change in layout might help in that regard.

Terms and measurements are very British, although non-metric equivalents are included for American readers. Instructions are repetitive, which are probably necessary for the beginner, and appropriate for the book's target audience.

All in all, if one is a complete novice in the kitchen, this is a good place to start.

Great first cookbook for anyone feeling overwhelmed by taking on a kitchen for the first time. There are some very good, practical suggestions in here for anyone who wants to begin eating in a more economical and healthy manner. I can't wait to try the french onion soup recipe!
