Recommend me 'starting home' books...?

My brother is finally leaving home at 29 years old O_o and doesn't know how to cook, budget, etc. I want to get him a couple of books, one on general stuff and one on basic cookery (as he'll be on a low budget). Any recommendations?

Designed for students, but good for anyone on their own for the first time:

Even if he's not veggie, veggie food can be cheaper and this book gves recipes for four with further instructions for adapting them for two or one

The original Delia Complete Cookery Course (the old brown book) - not "how to Cook"“the princess jumped from the tower & she learned that she could fly all along. she never needed those wings.”

I'd go with either Delia's Complete Cookery Course or Nigel Slater's Appetite.
29 is quite young -my sil is still living at home and she's 39 :rolleyes:0 -
My mum bought me 'How to boil an egg?' when I was a student and kept phoning her for cooking advice. That was 15 years ago and I still use it. It's great!0
