When I forget how to cook a cob of corn or a hard-boiled egg (timing is everything), it's my reference. And it does all the complicated stuff too. Best thing? The current edition is compiled by a woman whose REAL name is Marion Cunningham, just like the mom on "Happy Days."

I also highly recommend "The Best of the Best" cookbook. It's a collection of recipes from the Best of Bridge series, and I have yet to be disappointed by anything in it.

Remember that you only have to be 10% smarter than that which you're trying to conquer. Look for the 'thin cut' steaks at the grocery or if you have the luxury, a butcher (I don't.. and don't buy anything here on a saturday or monday). The GF grill also makes great grilled cheese sandwiches and I also use it for browning "bulk" ground-whatever for adding to other dishes that are on the stove-top.
