Well..these arent recipes for success in life...but certainly are recipes for success in kitchen.
They did help me....still do...especially since I got into the kitchen to cook only after marriage.
Cooking is still a chore for me...so these recipes aren't those of someone who is passionate about cooking..rather of someone who wants to have the tastiest food with minimum effort...something like the cookbook my mother presented me with...'Cooking for brides, grooms and for "those who hate cooking"'!!!
