FROM THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
“There are two kinds of people in this world: the ones who don’t cook out of and have NEVER cooked out of THE I HATE TO COOK BOOK, and the other kind…The I HATE TO COOK people consist mainly of those who find other things more interesting and less fattening, and so they do it as seldom as possible. Today there is an Annual Culinary Olympics, with hundreds of cooks from many countries ardently competing. But we who hate to cook have had our own Olympics for years, seeing who can get out of the kitchen the fastest and stay out the longest.”
- Peg Bracken
Philosopher’s Chowder. Skinny Meatloaf. Fat Man’s Shrimp. Immediate Fudge Cake. These are just a few of the beloved recipes from Peg Bracken’s classic I HATE TO COOK BOOK. Written in a time when women were expected to have full, delicious meals on the table for their families every night, Peg Bracken offered women who didn’t revel in this obligation an alternative: quick, simple meals that took minimal effort but would still satisfy.
50 years later, times have certainly changed – but the appeal of THE I HATE TO COOK BOOK hasn’t.
This book is for everyone, men and women alike, who wants to get from cooking hour to cocktail hour in as little time as possible.

Peg Bracken is awesome!! i love old cookbooks <3
I knew Peg Bracken personally. As a child, her daughter Johanna and I were close friends. She was a dear and wonderful woman. She had class, and she always had a clean and beautiful home. And yes, she was an excellent cook. She was a positive influence in my life. Although I am a Grandmother now, I remember her and Johanna like yesterday.
This should be a fun one. Thanks for the contest
I don’t always hate to cook, I just wish I was better at it.
I wish cooking was easier sometimes, I don't always hate it.

I don't hate cooking but I do have a strong dislike for it sometimes.
Count me in! Honestly, it's not that I totally hate to cook, it's more that I'm not really good at it!
