The premise of this book is that you can make alot of the things that you would normally buy from the grocery store- often times it will taste better, and similarly it will probably be cheaper. But just because you technically can raise turkeys and slaughter them and make your own Thanksgiving turkey, doesn't mean that you should (or that it will be easier, taste better, or cheaper than something from the store). Reese took it upon herself to try to make tons of food like ketchup, mayonnaise, macaroni and cheese, and more, and determine which you are better off making for yourself and what you should just buy from the store. This is not a cookbook- it's a book about food, filled with lots of recipes. The writing is very entertaining, and has certainly given me food for thought (PUN!!)
