The book, despite the report from the "Fire Commissioner", has nothing to do with arson, arsonists or people who like to play with matches; it's a Cookbook It was written for people who can't cook and that includes, pretty much, everyone on the planet. And trust me, if you need instruction on how to boil water, this is your cookbook. Buy this book; your neighbors will thank you for it. You may even get a Christmas card from the old bag next door who keeps calling the cops on you!
