Questions, Answered Honestly
Is this a printed book you mail me?
No, and I want you to know that before you spend a dime. It is a PDF: a file you open on your phone, your tablet or your computer the moment you pay. Nothing comes in the mail. The type is set big on purpose, one recipe to a page. You can print any page you like at home or at a copy shop, and the recipe cards at the back are made to be printed and kept by the stove.
I am not a good cook. Is this too hard for me?
It is written for somebody standing in the kitchen with nobody to ask, which is where I was in 1985. Exact measures, numbered steps, and under every step the reason it is done that way, because once you know why, you stop needing the recipe. After every recipe there is an honest "if it went wrong," so a bad pot can be saved instead of thrown out.
Do I need special ingredients I can't find?
Chapter 1 is the whole pantry, most of it already in your cupboard, and it comes with a swap table for when your store doesn't carry something. Nothing in this book needs a specialty shop. Every recipe lists every ingredient with its measure, so you can check for wheat, nuts or soy at a glance.
My family isn't vegan. Will they eat this?
That was my whole life. Gary grew up on meat and potatoes, and I had three kids at the table, one of them picky. These are suppers: goulash, meatloaf with gravy, beans and bread, a Thanksgiving dinner. There is a whole chapter on the picky eater, and one on the relatives who come to dinner and don't eat this way.
I am not good with computers.
You don't need to be, honey. You press one button and the book opens the way a photo opens, with no account to make and no password. If it doesn't open,
write to me here and I will walk you through it myself, or give your money back.
Is this a subscription? Will you charge my card again?
No. One payment, one time. No membership, no monthly anything, no free trial that turns into a bill. I could not charge you again if I wanted to.
What if I lose the file?
Your link lives in your email, so that's the thing to keep. If you lose it, go to the download page and put in the email you bought with, and it comes right back to you.
What if I don't like it?
Write to me within seven days and I'll give your money back, and you keep the book. I would rather that than have you feel taken.
