It's a really great book, particularly because that's basically how I approach cooking. What thing do I have, and what can I make with it? (Also, what can I be arsed cooking? Because that is also a thing I deal with.)
I've picked up a few things from the internet, and from just being forced to fend for myself more or less. Also, still living at home means I have plenty of opportunities to watch others cook, which I find helpful too. I think I would probably flail around a lot if I was suddenly on my own, but I would figure things out eventually, based mostly on my common sense of 'you like vegetables, just eat them, and then maybe some meat if you like'. Which is about as tuned as my 'healty eating sense' has got.
I do sometimes find it hard cooking for one, though, which is when I do most of my cooking. So I try to find things that will produce lots of leftovers, or things short and simple enough to feed me once. I'm still to find a decent '1 person meal' cookbook that doesn't annoy me, but when I do find one I like, that would probably be my next addition to my library.
