From the introduction:

"So, what will you eat tonight? Pizza? Another round at the bar and grill? Maybe the 10th variation on the bagel sandwich? Or how about some artery-choking fast food? Just home from work or class, you stare into the refrigerator as if a home-cooked meal will materialize before your eyes. You're all grown up with nothing to eat. Even if the fridge were stocked, you might not know how to make more than a sandwich and a brownie mix, or maybe a relative's chicken casserole. And the thought of having friends over for a casual meal is out of the question.

Designed to help you cook interesting and tasteful meals at home, All Grown Up and Nothing to Eat will enable you to invite friends or a date for dinner. Even better, you will be able to serve them with a bit of style and sophistication. It will suggest efficient ways to take care of your practical needs when eating alone. And though Martha Stewart won't be crossing the meadow to join you for brunch, you will gain confidence in the kitchen that will transform your life.

Stay with me as I philosophize for a moment. cooking is more than assembling food in the right amounts at the right temperatures. Entertaining is more than impressing people and fulfilling requisite social duties. When you learn to cook and entertain, you become more independent and confident in your abilities, culinary and otherwise. You enjoy being home (Let's hear it from those with travel jobs!), you eat more healthful foods and your social life is more vibrant. Becoming a successful cook and host is an empowering experience, no matter if you're 18, 30 or 55."
